Switzerland's UN Presidency Overshadowed by Ukraine Conflict.

Switzerland takes over the presidency of the UN Security Council for the first time since becoming a full member of the United Nations in 2002. The country's approach is to work for unity of the council's 15 members and to be "a bridge builder." However, the war in Ukraine is expected to loom over the presidency, with heated discussions likely to take place during signature events. The council is also highly likely to hold a meeting on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine, which is certain to pit Moscow against Kyiv's allies.
