MOSCOW (AA) - The US has not co-sponsored an anti-Russian draft resolution on Ukraine at the UN General Assembly for the first time since the start of the Moscow-Kyiv war in February 2022, the Russian state news agency RIA claimed on Thursday.

RIA said it has a draft of the document, the current version, prepared on the occasion of the third anniversary of the war, demanding that Moscow "immediately, completely, and unconditionally withdraw all its armed forces from the territory of Ukraine."

The resolution's sponsors include Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Poland, and the Baltic states, it added.
