US deputy ambassador Dorothy Shea, meanwhile, said multiple previous UN resolutions condemning Russia and demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops "have failed to stop the war," which "has now dragged on for far too long and at far too terrible a cost to the people in Ukraine and Russia and beyond".
At the start of the meeting, Mr Trump told reporters Russian President Vladimir Putin will accept European peacekeepers in Ukraine as part of a potential deal to end the war in the country.
The US has abstained from a UN General Assembly vote on a resolution it drafted on the war in Ukraine after the body approved amendments proposed by European countries.
However, it was amended after European nations said that it should include references to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the need for a lasting peace in line with the UN Charter.
The US-drafted resolution, marking the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, had called for an end to the conflict but did not mention Moscow's aggression.
