"Zelensky's U.N. pitch overshadowed by Russian drone attack on Lviv"

As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in New York City to address the U.N. General Assembly and seek global support, Russian forces launched a missile and drone attack that hit cities as far west as Lviv, destroying a humanitarian aid warehouse. Despite the General Assembly's condemnation of the invasion and demand for the withdrawal of Russian troops, the Kremlin has ignored the calls. Zelensky's presence at the U.N. and upcoming meetings in Congress and at the White House reflect the need to rally international support as Ukraine's counteroffensive progresses slowly. Concerns are growing that the conflict could become protracted, benefiting Russia and causing economic repercussions globally. Zelensky's visit aims to fortify the principle of territorial integrity and sustain worldwide support for Ukraine.
