US Priorities Shift Away From Ukraine Conflict, Russia-Ukraine Talks Stall Completely

The administration of the United States did not join a statement by Kyiv on the situation in Ukraine that was read at the United Nations on Tuesday by Ukraine's permanent representative to the UN, Andriy Melnyk. "We call for a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and also stress the urgent need for concrete humanitarian measures,” the statement said. According to Melnyk, the statement was supported by European Union member states and the EU itself, as well as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
