How did the big powers vote?

Why did the United States vote with Russia?

The vote came five weeks after Donald Trump returned to the White House, as his administration opened direct talks with Russia to end the war. The United States had voted for every earlier Assembly resolution on the invasion.

This time it asked countries to back a shorter text of its own, which called for a swift end to the conflict but did not name Russia as the aggressor. European countries amended the US text to add that language, and the United States then abstained on its own amended draft.

The same day, the Security Council adopted the original US text, unamended, as Resolution 2774.
