Volodymyr Zelensky Warns Russian War on Ukraine Threatens the World
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, world leaders addressed the U.N. General Assembly
Tuesday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia's invasion
poses a threat to all nations.

President Volodymyr Zelensky: "And it is clear, Russia's attempt to
weaponize the food shortage on the global market in exchange for a
recognition for some, if not all, of the captured territories. Russia is
launching the food prices as weapons. The impact stems from the Atlantic
coast of Africa to the Southeast Asia. And this is the threat scale."

President Biden expressed ongoing support for Ukraine and condemned
Russia's "naked aggression." In his speech, Biden also called for global
climate action, global AI regulations, managing competition with China,
and urged the U.N. to back a "security support mission" to Haiti, where
gang violence has been surging.
