UN General Assembly meets for high-level session

Almost a year following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the UN General Assembly is meeting on Wednesday (9:00 p.m./CET) for a high-level debate. The meeting of the largest UN body at the UN headquarters in New York is likely to drag on until Thursday due to the large number of speakers.

A German speech is planned for Thursday. The UN Security Council will also deal with the war on Friday. High-ranking participants are also expected here.
