New Delhi, March 3: US President Joe Biden has said that Russia is to blame for the “devastating abuses of human rights and the worldwide humanitarian disaster” occurring in Ukraine.
After the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) voted to condemn Russia’s actions towards Ukraine, Biden made his speech.
According to a statement released by White House, terming Russia’s military operation in Ukraine ‘unprovoked, unjustified, and unconscionable war’, Biden said that the Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly convened by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the first time in 40 years demonstrates the ‘extent of global outrage at Russia’s horrific assault on a sovereign neighbour and showcased unprecedented global unity.’
“An overwhelming majority of nations around the world condemn Putin’s war. An overwhelming majority of nations recognize that Putin is not only attacking Ukraine but also attacking the very foundations of global peace and security–and everything the United Nations stands for. And an overwhelming majority of the world recognizes that if we do not stand up to Putin’s Russia, it will only inflict further chaos and aggression on the world. Russia stood isolated, with the support of only four brutal, authoritarian states,” said Biden.
He went on to say that the vote exposes Putin’s isolation and holds Belarus accountable for its deplorable role in the conflict.
