The United States has proposed its own United Nations resolution marking the third anniversary of Russia’s war in Ukraine after refusing to back one drafted by Kyiv and backed by Europe.

The statement outlines the EU “strongly condemns” recent escalations in the West Bank and “deeply deplores” the unacceptable number of civilians killed during the fighting in Gaza. The EU will criticise Israel for banning the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, which is seen as a crucial provider of basic services in Gaza and the West Bank.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Sunday that there can be no talks about the future of Ukraine without the participation of Ukraine, setting his stall out before a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump this week.

President Donald Trump said he's had "good talks" with Russia's Vladimir Putin but not with Ukraine, and that he's "sick" of how Volodymyr Zelenskyy has handled the war.

President Donald Trump reversed course on Friday and said Russia did in fact invade Ukraine, and that Kyiv would soon sign a minerals agreement with the United States as part of efforts to end the Ukraine war.
