At the United Nations, Biden sought to convince developing nations and an American public weary of a protracted fight in Ukraine to continue global support for Kyiv.
President Biden on Tuesday urged world leaders to strengthen their resolve in supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, telling those gathered at the United Nations General Assembly that it was their duty to uphold the “core tenets” of the U.N. charter.
Biden used the annual U.N. General Assembly gathering taking place this week to lay out a U.S.-led vision to confront the world’s most pressing challenges, including tackling the climate crisis, addressing artificial intelligence and investing in developing nations of the Global South.
The Ukrainian leader will travel to Washington on Thursday for a White House visit and to meet with congressional leaders as he looks to shore up more support for his besieged country. Areleased last month found that 51% of respondents said that the U.S. “has done enough” to aid Ukraine in the war, compared with 48% who said they want America to do more.
Biden will meet with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and leaders of five Central Asian nations — Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan — which includes countries that border Russia and China. The meeting will be the first of its kind at the leaders level, administration officials said.
