Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has addressed the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as world leaders gather for the third day.
A UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting was held on Thursday to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UNSC that Ukraine and the West were attempting to impose a “completely different narrative” that sees Moscow as the aggressor.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said there will be “no peace without justice” and expressed confidence in the work of the International Criminal Court.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called on UNSC members to hold Russian President Vladimir Putin accountable for shredding the international order.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged for a probe into “a catalogue of cruelty” in Ukraine.
The UNSC has been unable to take any meaningful action on Ukraine because Russia is a permanent veto-wielding member along with the United States, France, the United Kingdom and China.
