Over in New York, the United Nations General Assembly has been meeting all morning on the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
It has just adopted one resolution - drafted by the EU and the UK - to mark the anniversary, which reaffirms the UN's "commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine".
A resolution, when passed, is used to formally express the opinion or will of the international organisation.
The resolution needed the support of two-thirds of those voting to pass -
93 states voted in favour, 18 against and 65 abstained.
The US opposed the resolution - instead filing its own, which makes no reference to backing Ukraine's territorial integrity, and refers to Russia's invasion as a "conflict”
So America are now voting in the UN alongsidethe rogues gallery of Russia , North Korea and Belarus. All because Trump is compromised
