Biden condemns Russian escalation of Ukraine war | DW News

US President Joe Biden delivered a firm rebuke of Russia's "brutal, needless war" in Ukraine during an address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday.

He said Moscow "shamelessly violated" the UN charter with the invasion.

"If nations can persue their imperial ambitions without consequences then we put at risk everything this institution stands for," he said.

Biden's address to the UN comes only hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered reservists to report for duty to fight the war in Ukraine.

Maybe it just me but how will using nuclear weapons protect Russian citizens I think it’s the other way round everyone fears nuclear destruction but once one country uses it all bets are off

[DavidGitongawriter]

Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine - Can they address these as well?

[iainduncan]

PUTIN - "The west wants to kill me"

DOCTOR - "can you see the West in the room just now?"

They say about that last part, "Some viewers may find this distressing." I think if you're a human being, you find that distressing.

Having Russia on the security council is like having an arsonist in the fire department

[twinsiesyt]

It is time for unity against last century's ghost, which needs to be eliminated. If not we will have much bigger problem.

U.S. already added fuel to fire. And I think the real game has started and just footstep into it unless backup.

[gluteusmaximus]

Putin has painted himself into that corner.

[whitethread]

Obviously Putin has a screw loose but I don't understand why there isn't one russian man with the balls to rid the world of his madness

We must become militarily stronger and energy independent!
Russia will only continue to blackmail us if we don't!
We Fight Evil!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

"this is not a bluff"...the words of a man who feels powerless to change the tide of history running against him.

[Oldcoots]

"Steady but firm". Well done Mr. President!

[Andrey-knyg]

DW, i have a question. Why are you still name russian army as russian back separatists?

[xXFeboXx]

When someone asks to not be named, doesn't this also imply that they also don't want their uncensored face on public display? I mean these days this should be a given shouldn't it?

"On the first night they approach and steal a flower from our garden.
And we don´t say anything.
On the second night, they no longer hide: tread the flowers, kill our dog.
And we say nothing.
Until one day, the most fragile of them enters our house alone, steals our light and, knowing our fear, rips the voice out of our throats.
And we can no longer say anything."

Putin can´t win this war... whatever it takes!

[johnely]

Who shamelessly invaded Vietnam and Afghanistan?

[johaniojo]

"the president (putin) said it, so we must live with it" : clearly not living in a democracy 😌🤨

[Wheretherivermeets]

"they don't want to be named" shows full sustained headshot.

[luanna]

"Needless war", said by the president of the most warmonger nation on the planet...hilarious!!!
