Biden: US wants end of conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible

The United States wants a speedy end to the conflict in Ukraine, but stands in solidarity with Ukraine on the issue of its sovereignty, US President Joe Biden said during his speech at the UN General Assembly. About it writes "RIA News".

“The United States wants the war to end on fair terms, we are all for that. The territory of the country cannot be taken by force, and we oppose Russia's actions in this, Biden said. “Ukraine has the same rights as all other sovereign countries, and we stand in solidarity with it.”

Also President of the United States declaredthat Russia allegedly disregarded the UN charter and created a nuclear threat in defiance of non-proliferation obligations.

Earlier, Politico journalist Jonathan Lemire, citing sources on his Twitter informedthat the White House is rewriting Biden's UN speech in connection with the latest statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In the course of his address to citizens on the issues of referendums in the territories of the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics (LPR and DPR), Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, Putin declaredthat Western countries have launched "nuclear blackmail", they call on Kyiv to transfer hostilities to the territory of Russia. “We are talking not only about the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is encouraged by the West, which threatens a nuclear catastrophe, but also about the statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO states about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia,” the president said.

The principles and conditions for the use of nuclear weapons by Moscow are set out in the military doctrine of Russia, spoke former Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko. According to the provisions of the military doctrine, the Russian side can use nuclear weapons if they are used on the territory of the country, if reliable information about the launch of ballistic missiles is received, if the enemy impacts on critical state or military facilities, which will jeopardize the work of Russian nuclear forces, and if the existence of the state will be threatened.
