UN Votes on Demand for Russia's Troop Withdrawal Amid US Call for Softened Approach

The UN General Assembly is set to vote on a resolution demanding Russia's troops pull out of Ukraine, but US officials prefer a softer approach, seeking to avoid escalating tensions ahead of a potentially contentious meeting at the G7 summit. The US proposal would focus on economic sanctions against Russia and supporting Ukraine's sovereignty rather than a direct military withdrawal. Diplomats say a unified stance is crucial to present a united front against Russia's actions in Ukraine. The vote comes as the conflict rages on for its third anniversary.
