President Joe Biden to focus on Russia-Ukraine war in UN speech, says US NSA Jake Sullivan

US President Joe Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan, said the sham referendums Russia is planning to use as a pretext to annex more Ukrainian territory violate UN principles, according to report.

Sullivan said the US would not recognize Russian claims to any part of Ukraine purportedly annexed. He later said their opposition to Russia's actions is unequivocal, and they will continue working with their allies and partners to impose costs on Russia.

In addition, Sullivan speculated that Russian President Vladimir Putin might be preparing to mobilize more troops.


Sullivan said President Biden would speak on strengthening the UN and its charter, especially in light of Russia's challenges to territorial integrity and sovereignty as a member of the UN Security Council.

In response to the rising cost of food worldwide, Sullivan said President Biden's speech would include a 'robust' section on global food security, and the president would advocate for eliminating export bans and hoarding.



Moreover, the US president will discuss climate change's impact on food availability and access.

Despite one leader addressing the meeting virtually, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Biden's speech will be the first all-in-person UN General Assembly since COVID-19 broke out.

As soon as Biden finishes his speech, he will participate in a bilateral meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Additionally, he will meet Liz Truss, the newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, during his visit.
