US President Joe Biden delivered a powerful speech to the United Nations General Assembly in which he accused Russia of having sought conflict with Ukraine “nobody but Russia sought conflict”
Joe Biden condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in a powerful speech before the United Nations General Assembly in which he assured that Russia “blatantly violated” the basic principles of the UN charter and that with said invasion “it is about extinguishing Ukraine’s right to exist as a state plain and simple.”
“Russia has blatantly violated the basic principles of the UN charter, which are no more important than the clear prohibition on countries taking their neighbors’ territory by force,” Biden told the United Nations General Assembly.
The president urged to analyze the consequences of the violation “if nations can pursue their imperial ambitions without consequences, then we put at risk everything that this very institution represents” and promised that the United States will continue to support the “brave Ukrainian soldiers”.
The president also added that “this war is about extinguishing Ukraine’s right to exist as a state, plain and simple. And Ukraine’s right to exist as a people. Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever you believe, that should make your blood run cold. The world should see these outrageous acts for what they are. Putin claims that he had to act because Russia was threatened. But no one threatened Russia, and no one but Russia sought conflict.”
Biden’s remarks come after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he doubled down on the invasion of Ukraine by ordering a partial mobilization of Russian reservists with military experience and would have threatened nuclear retaliation if Kyiv continues its efforts to recover Ukraine. the occupied territory.
