“The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is the largest and deadliest war in Europe since World War II,” stated Ambassador Shea, Acting U.S. Representative to the United Nations. It continues to rage on, and the death toll and destruction in both Ukraine and Russia continue to grow. “This is a devastating war that should never have started,” stressed Ambassador Shea in remarks to the UN General Assembly. That is why the United States, under President Donald Trump’s leadership has undertaken exceptional efforts to bring this war to an end, said Ambassador Shea. The United Nations, stressed Ambassador Shea, was established to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.
