Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 574
Al JazeeraHere is the situation on Wednesday September 20, 2023. At the UN’s headquarters for the first time since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged world leaders to show unity in the face of Russia’s continued “aggression” in Ukraine, telling delegates that Moscow was “weaponising” food and energy. US President Joe Biden told the UNGA that the world must remain united in defending Ukraine, asking leaders to stand up to Russia’s “naked aggression” to deter other would-be aggressors. “I’d respectfully suggest the answer is no.” Also addressing the assembly, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country would intensify efforts to end the war in Ukraine. “We will step up our efforts to end the war through diplomacy and dialogue on the basis of Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity,” Erdogan said.
