U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a blunt message to the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on September 24, telling the gathering that Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine had "failed at its core aim," and he urged members of the world body meeting to continue supporting Kyiv.
Putin "set out to destroy Ukraine, but Ukraine is still free," Biden said in his last address as U.S. president to the annual UNGA in New York City.
