Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday in a meeting that is expected to see him come face to face with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Zelenskyy, Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken were among the delegates at the meeting at which Lavrov is expected to speak, and at which Ukraine's leader is expected to present Kyiv's peace plan.
When asked whether he would stay to listen to Lavrov, Zelenskyy said Monday: "I don't know how it will be, really," AP reported.
At the wider U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, U.S. President Joe Biden called on world leaders to continue to support Ukraine against Russia's "illegal war of conquest." Addressing the assembly for the first time, Zelenskyy made an impassioned speech focused on the dangers that he said Russia posed to the international community. On Thursday, Zelenskyy is due to travel to Washington to meet Biden.
