From a Wall Street Journal story by William Mauldin headlined “Russia War in Ukraine Set to Dominate United Nations Gathering”:
Russia’s war in Ukraine is set to dominate the annual gathering of government leaders at the United Nations in New York, although developing countries are insisting that health issues, the global food supply and climate change don’t fall through the cracks, officials said.
U.N. events over the coming week will more closely resemble traditional gatherings after the coronavirus pandemic prompted limited or mostly online attendance the past two years. President Biden is scheduled to speak Wednesday after attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral—an event which has affected the timing of U.N. meetings and caused some attendees to drop out.
