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 U.S. on Friday proposed a draft United Nations resolution to mark the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the proposal pits Washington against an effort by Kyiv and European allies to have their own text adopted on Monday by the General Assembly.

Trump has increasingly shifted some of the blame to Zelensky, suggesting he failed to take key steps leading up to the conflict to avert the Ukraine war.

Russia launched more strike drones into Ukraine overnight on Saturday than in any other single attack of the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday, one day before the three-year anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion.

Overnight, Russia launch 267 attack drones against Ukraine, a "record" number, according to Ukraine Air Force Command.

The largest conflict on the European continent since World War II is at a turning point ahead of Monday’s third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump has said French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer "haven't done anything" to end the war in Ukraine, ahead of their visits to the White House next week.
