The United Nations Security Council has adopted a U.S.-drafted resolution on the conflict in Ukraine, taking a neutral position as U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to broker peace. The resolution received 10 votes in favor, with five countries abstaining. The resolution mourns the loss of life in the conflict, reiterates the U.N.'s purpose to maintain peace and security, and urges a swift end to the conflict and a lasting peace. The U.N. General Assembly had previously rejected the U.S. bid to tone down its stance on Ukraine's sovereignty, giving Ukraine and European states a diplomatic victory over Washington.
