US President Joe Biden delivered his final address to the United Nations General Assembly on September 24. In his address, the US President stressed the top national security priorities of US-Ukraine and its defence against the Russian invasion. He said, “The good news is Putin's war has failed at his core aim." He then promised to continue to support Kyiv until it achieves a "durable peace". The unyielding tension in West Asia dominated much of the UN conference. As he wrapped up his address, Joe Biden reflected on his decision not to seek a second term in office. He said, “We must never forget who we're here to represent… We, the people. These are the first words of our Constitution, the very idea of America, and they inspired the opening words of our UN Charter. I've made the preservation of democracy the central cause of my presidency.”
