Leaders of European countries such as Germany and Poland, and even Prime Minister Kishida of Japan It was strongly criticized, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres did not directly mention Russia, but added to the criticism, saying that the show of nuclear force and the threat to the safety of the nuclear power plant are aggravating international unrest.

Especially at this General Assembly, the argument that Russia should be expelled from the permanent members of the UN Security Council is getting stronger.



U.S. President Biden and Ukrainian President Zelensky, who will speak tomorrow (22nd), are also expected to emphasize such reforms of the Security Council, but because there is no basis for expelling a permanent member of the Security Council and there is no way for Russia to agree to this, There is also an analysis that the discussion is focused on pressure on Russia rather than the actual reorganization of the Security Council.



As if reflecting the international situation in which the conflict is intensifying to the point where the word “New Cold War” is being coined, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Putin did not attend the General Assembly side by side.
