President Joe Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, urging the international community to stand up against Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine. In his speech, he emphasized the importance of defending the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and ensuring the independence of nations.
During his address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, President Joe Biden issued a passionate call for international solidarity in the face of Russian aggression in Ukraine. He stressed the need for the United Nations to take a stand against this deliberate aggression to deter similar actions in the future.
Biden expressed deep concern about the situation in Ukraine, noting that Russia appeared to believe that the world would eventually lose interest in the conflict and allow it to continue destabilizing Ukraine with impunity. The American president reiterated the founding principles of the United Nations Charter, which advocate for peace, national sovereignty, and respect for internationally recognized borders.
He also posed a crucial question to the Assembly: if Ukraine were left to fend for itself, what guarantee would remain for the protection of the national independence of other UN member states? His answer was clear: such a situation would jeopardize the security of all.
Joe Biden reaffirmed the commitment of the United States, its allies, and partners to support the Ukrainian people in defending their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and freedom. He emphasized that the responsibility for this war rested solely with Russia.
