“Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalise Ukraine without consequence,” the US president told the UN General Assembly.
President Joe Biden sought to rally the world behind his vision of a global order that tackles major crises like climate change, public health and food security collectively, while standing firm against international aggression, most notably the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
While President Biden took an unrelenting stance against Russia’s brutal war and warned against appeasing Moscow, he drew a more measured line on China.“Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalise Ukraine without consequence,” Biden said as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine watched from the audience.
Biden’s speech came as other major leaders skipped the annual opening session of the General Assembly, including President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Xi Jinping of China, effectively leaving the stage to the US president.
“Taken together, these snapshots tell an urgent story of what awaits us if we fail to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and begin to climate-proof the world,” he said. Under his administration, he said, “the United States has treated this crisis as the existential threat from the moment we took office, not only for us, but for all of humanity”.
