Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks from Kyiv, Ukraine, on March 20, 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be attending the annual gathering of world leaders. Unsurprisingly, Ukraine has been the center of attention at the assembly, with leader after world leader condemning Russia for attacking a sovereign nation. At the United Nations, where peace and dialogue are cornerstone principles, leaders from many countries are trying to prevent a wider conflict and restore peace in Europe. Diplomats, though, aren’t expecting any breakthroughs this week at the United Nations, where nearly 150 leaders are addressing each other and the world.
