U.N. General Assembly votes on Ukraine cease-fire as geopolitical tensions escalate. The 193-member body adopted a resolution calling for an immediate, full and unconditional cease-fire in Russia's war in Ukraine with 107 votes in favor, 12 against and 51 abstentions. The United States abstained despite proposing amendments to strip language identifying Russian aggression, a move that underscores shifting diplomatic positions under the Trump administration. Ukraine strongly objected to the U.S. motion, warning that weakening such language sends a dangerous signal. China also abstained. Russia dismissed the resolution as politicization rather than a peace instrument. The vote reflects deepening divisions among major powers over how to resolve the conflict now entering its fourth year.
