Kellogg criticizes US decision to abstain during UN vote on resolution on lasting peace in Ukraine

US President's special envoy Keith Kellogg criticized the United States' decision to abstain during the UN vote on the resolution "Supporting lasting peace in Ukraine".

He wrote about this on the social network X.

"A UN vote on a lasting peace in Ukraine and we abstained. Go figure. The russian federation was against the proclamation. Is not four years of war enough? Is not missing children, shelling of cities and the killing of innocents enough? It is not a business deal-it is war," the message says.

We will remind, on the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion of the aggressor state of russia into Ukraine, the UN General Assembly resolution "Supporting lasting peace in Ukraine", initiated by Ukraine, was adopted.

According to the vote, 107 member states supported it. Among those who abstained was the United States of America.

Meanwhile, it became known that the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington received an official demarche from the US Department of State in connection with the strikes on the russian port of Novorossiysk, said Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Olha Stefanishyna.
