Diplomats reported on Saturday that the United States is urging the U.N. Security Council to vote on a brief draft resolution on Monday, marking the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This would precede the vote on the same text by the 193-member General Assembly.

The U.S. move has set it at odds with Ukraine and the European Union. For the past month, they have been negotiating with U.N. member states on their own draft text on the war, which is slated for a General Assembly vote on Monday.

On Thursday, Reuters reported that the U.S. had declined to co-sponsor the Ukraine and EU-drafted text. Subsequently, on Friday, Washington proposed its own resolution for a General Assembly vote on Monday. Late on Friday, the U.S. also submitted the same draft resolution to the Security Council.

Diplomats noted that a Security Council vote on the U.S. draft has not yet been scheduled. To be adopted, a council resolution requires at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the United States, Russia, China, Britain, or France.
