Hello, this is Michelle. Washington's new diplomatic balancing act with Russia was in full display at a closed-door UN labour meeting, where it refrained from rejecting a bid by Moscow to downplay its role in the war in Ukraine.
The Swiss foreign minister has increased federal support for international Geneva, though some feel it's not enough. Plus, the UN migration agency has provided more details about how the US funding loss will affect its headquarters. |

US abstains from ILO vote on Ukraine war, breaking ranks with allies.
In a striking move, the United States took yet another step back from Ukraine and its allies by abstaining from a key vote at the International Labour Organization (ILO). As Russia attempted to weaken a resolution at the UN labour agency’s governing body that condemned its invasion of Ukraine and urged it to withdraw its troops, Washington’s silence spoke volumes – signalling a major shift in US policy as the Trump administration pursues a controversial ceasefire deal.
