 President Joe Biden has called on the UN General Assembly to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and oppose Russian aggression, warning that the Kremlin's invasion of its smaller neighbor threatened the sovereignty and independence of nations around the world. Biden's speech comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial military mobilization on Wednesday, again blaming the West for the conflict in Ukraine and saying it wants to destroy Russia. A permanent member of the United Nations Security Council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map. Russia has shamelessly violated the core tenets of the United Nations Charter. No more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force. Again, just today, President Putin has made overt nuclear threats against Europe in a reckless disregard for the responsibilities of the non-proliferation regime. Now, Russia is calling up more soldiers to join the fight, and the Kremlin is organizing a sham referendum to try to annex parts of Ukraine, an extremely significant violation of the UN Charter. This world should see these outrageous acts for what they are. Putin claims he had to act because Russia was threatened. But no one threatened Russia, and no one other than Russia sought conflict.
