The U.S. has pressured Ukraine to withdraw its European-backed U.N. resolution demanding an immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine in favor of an American proposal that doesn't mention Moscow’s invasion.

The United States wanted the resolution replaced with a toned-down version that felt overly sympathetic to Russia, an official said.

The Donald Trump administration in the United States wants Ukraine to withdraw an annual resolution at the United Nations condemning Russia's war and instead replace it with a US-sponsored statement calling for an end to the conflict that contains no mention of Russian responsibility,

US President Donald Trump has said that French President Emmanuel Macron and UK PM Keir Starmer "haven't done anything" to end the war in Ukraine, ahead of visits from both leaders to the White House next week.

The leaders of France and Britain are both due to meet with President Trump this week. Approaches previously tried with him may no longer work.

MSNBC’s Ali Velishi does a necessary fact check on Donald Trump’s lies about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin’s murderous war with Ukraine ahead of a face-to-face meeting in Washington between Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron.
