The main message from Ukraine
The day before, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told what thesis Ukraine would be promoting at the UN General Assembly. In particular, to convey to international leaders that the full-scale war unleashed by Russia concerns the whole world.
The diplomat stressed that it is useless to try to sit out this war behind a screen of neutrality. The whole world must unite around one goal – to prevent Russia, which, by the way, is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, from violating the border of another state with impunity.
