President Biden will rebuke Russia’s “naked aggression” in Ukraine when he appears before the UN General Assembly Wednesday, in a speech that will argue that the war is a challenge to what the international body stands for, the White House said.
Biden is expected to rally allies for the Ukrainian resistance in his 10:30 a.m. address, just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists and accused the West of “nuclear blackmail.”
“He’ll offer a firm rebuke of Russia’s unjust war in Ukraine and make a call to the world to continue to stand against the naked aggression that we’ve seen these past several months,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters.
“He will underscore the importance of strengthening the United Nations and reaffirm core tenets of its charter at a time when a permanent member of the Security Council has struck at the very heart of the charter by challenging the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty.”
