Here in New York, President Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, calling on nations to give more weapons and aid to Ukraine, while condemning Vladimir Putin’s invasion as a threat to the U.N. Charter and to democracy.

President Joe Biden: “Because if nations can pursue their imperial ambitions without consequences, then we put at risk everything this very institution stands for. Everything.”
