As Ukraine worries UN, some leaders rue what’s pushed aside

Associated Press  

UNITED NATIONS — In speech after speech, world leaders dwelled on the topic consuming this year’s U.N. General Assembly meeting: Russia’s war in Ukraine. President Andrzej Duda of Poland — on Ukraine’s doorstep — stressed in his speech that “we mustn’t show any ‘war fatigue’” regarding the conflict. Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg’s assembly speech acknowledged grumblings about European “double standards — that we only react so strongly to Russia’s invasion because of geographic and cultural proximity or because Ukrainians ‘look like us.’” He vigorously rebuffed that notion, arguing that Russia’s attack ripped up international rules that undergird every country’s security. Calling for more attention to the disputed Western Sahara region in northern Africa, she admonished the global community to “treat all conflicts across the globe with equal indignation, no matter what the color or creed of the people affected.” And while other countries may be wrapped up in Ukraine, Pandor offered a her nation’s own list of the biggest global challenges: “poverty, inequality, joblessness and a feeling of being entirely ignored and excluded.” Tuvalu’s prime minister, Kausea Natano, said in an interview on the assembly’s sidelines that the war shouldn’t “be an excuse” for countries to ignore their financial commitments to a top priority for his island nation: fighting climate change.
