CURRENT REPORT BLOG U.S. President Joe Biden has conveyed a strong message of support for Ukraine during his address at the United Nations General Assembly. He emphasized that backing Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion is not only an investment in Ukraine’s future but also in the principles of the United Nations that uphold sovereignty and territorial integrity for all nations, regardless of their size.
Biden made it clear that the responsibility for the ongoing conflict lies solely with Russia, and it is Russia’s power that can bring an immediate end to the war. However, he noted that Russia’s demands for peace involve Ukraine’s capitulation, the surrender of its territory, and the future of its children. The U.S. president pointed out that Russia seems to believe that the international community will eventually grow weary and allow it to continue its aggression against Ukraine without facing consequences.
Biden also highlighted the broader implications of this conflict, emphasizing that the security of all United Nations member states is at stake if Ukraine were to be divided or “carved up” by Russia. He underscored the importance of standing up against such aggression not only to address the current crisis but also to deter potential aggressors in the future.
In conclusion, President Biden reaffirmed the commitment of the United States, along with its allies and global partners, to stand with the people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and freedom. This stance reflects the broader principles of the United Nations and the collective responsibility to ensure peace and security in the world.
