The United States urged an end to the Ukraine conflict during a UN Security Council session in New York. Ambassador Mike Waltz presented the U.S. position on stopping the war.
He stated that the war has no military solution. The speech emphasized the need for diplomatic talks to resolve the crisis.
Human Cost and Global Impact
According to the U.S. mission, approximately 25,000 people lose their lives each month. Waltz described this as an unacceptable loss of human life.
The conflict also threatens global food security. Roughly a third of the world's wheat supply is at risk due to disruptions in trade routes.

The United States is prepared to facilitate trilateral talks. The goal is to bring all parties to the negotiating table for peace.
Waltz noted that the U.S. supports incremental steps toward peace. Focus areas include energy security and food supply stability.
Condemnation of Conflict Expansion
The U.S. strongly condemned attempts to broaden the war's scope. This includes violations of neighboring airspace and NATO territory.
