The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

The Kremlin on Tuesday welcomed what it described as a much more balanced U.S. stance on Ukraine after the United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a U.S.-drafted resolution that took a neutral position on the conflict.

On the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.N. General Assembly is expected to vote on dueling resolutions.
