After two years of discourse dominated by the coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine has taken center stage at this year’s United Nations General Assembly.
Russia is a key ally of Kazakhstan, and the war in Ukraine has left the former Soviet country in an awkward spot. Tokayev performed a similar dance last weekrefusing to speak directly about Ukraine while generally decrying a morbid state of affairs.
The theme of territorial sovereignty resonated in other speeches, as countries who have faced infringements invoked their own traumas or cited the fate of Ukraine as a fear.“We must not be silent in Bosnia and Herzegovina either. We owe that to our vivid memories of the horrors of war and aggression,” Šefik Džaferović,said Wednesday. “The United Nations system was unable to prevent or stop the war in my country in the period between 1992 and 1995. Unfortunately, that happened again with Ukraine.
But Duda also highlighted how Ukraine has captured the world’s attention when many other momentous crises outside of Europe have not.
