Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will address the UN General Assembly amidst the ongoing Ukraine invasion. This comes after US President Trump expressed belief in Ukraine's ability to reclaim lost territory, a shift from his previous stance. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, addressing the assembly for the fourth time, urged Russia's withdrawal and warned of wider risks. Recent unauthorized flights into NATO airspace, blamed on Russia, have heightened European alarm, with Moscow denying involvement or offering alternative explanations.
