Rubio urges UN members to back 'simple, historic' US resolution on Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged UN members to approve a new US-proposed resolution on the Ukraine war.

"The United States has proposed a simple, historic resolution in the United Nations that we urge all member states to support in order to chart a path to peace," Rubio said in a statement. 

The draft U.N. resolution stops far short of a competing European-backed statement demanding an immediate withdrawal of all of Moscow’s forces from Ukraine, according to AP.

Both are timed to the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, that Moscow calls a special military operation, which falls on Monday, when the U.N. General Assembly will vote on the nonbinding resolutions.
