JAKARTA - United States (US) President Joe Biden has accused Russia of "very significant" violations of the international charter.

This was stated by Biden in his speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in New York City, Wednesday, September 21. Biden called the war against Ukraine unnecessary and carried out by only one person, Putin.

“In the past year, our world has experienced great upheaval, growing crises and food insecurity; record heat, floods, droughts, COVID-19, inflation and unnecessarily brutal wars, wars chosen by one man," Biden said in his first words for the UNGA.

"Frankly, let's talk frankly. A permanent member of the UN Security Council is invading his neighbor, trying to wipe a sovereign nation off the map," Biden said.

Russia, Biden continued, shamelessly violated the core principles of the UN Charter. Biden, clearly mentioned Putin's name. He said the Russian president had made "an open nuclear threat to Europe and ignored the responsibilities of the nonproliferation regime."

"Now, Russia is calling in more soldiers to join the fighting and the Kremlin is organizing a fake referendum to try to annex parts of Ukraine - a very significant violation of the UN charter," Biden said.

Putin, Biden continued, has claimed that he acted because Russia was threatened. But that's not true because of the fact that Russia itself is looking for conflict.

Biden said the war had provided chilling evidence of Russia's atrocities and war crimes. This points to the discovery of mass graves in Ukraine filled with bodies.

“This war is about extinguishing Ukraine's right to live as a state—clear and simple—and Ukraine's right to live as a people,” Biden said.

"Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever you believe you shouldn't, it will make your blood run cold."
