As the third anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war approaches on February 24, the United States reaffirms its commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace. President Donald Trump is dedicated to ending the conflict in a manner that ensures long-term stability rather than a temporary cessation of hostilities. The human and economic toll of this war has been devastating, affecting not only Ukraine and Russia but also global security and prosperity.
In pursuit of this objective, the United States has introduced a historic resolution in the United Nations, urging all member states to unite behind a pathway to peace. This resolution aligns with the core principles of the UN Charter, which mandates the maintenance of international peace and security through the peaceful resolution of disputes. If the UN is to fulfill its founding purpose, it must rise to this occasion and take decisive action to end the bloodshed.
The war in Ukraine has persisted for far too long, and now is the time for the global community to commit to peace. The proposed resolution reaffirms the UN’s vital role in conflict resolution and demonstrates that peace remains within reach if the world stands together. We acknowledge the immense challenges ahead, but we firmly believe that collective action can pave the way for reconciliation and stability.
The United States calls upon all UN member states to seize this moment and support the resolution, reaffirming our shared responsibility in shaping a more secure and peaceful world. Now is the time to act decisively—this is our opportunity to build real momentum toward a sustainable resolution to one of the most pressing global conflicts of our time.
