Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday urged UN members to approve a new US-proposed resolution on the Ukraine war that according to diplomats omits any mention of Kyiv's territory occupied by Russia.

"The United States has proposed a simple, historic resolution in the United Nations that we urge all member states to support in order to chart a path to peace," Rubio said in a statement, without commenting in detail on the contents of the proposed resolution.
