While addressing the United Nations General Assembly, the US President said that Pakistan is facing difficulties due to floods as most of the country is submerged in water due to which Islamabad needs help. Biden said that the international community must come forward to stop the effects of climate change, adding that climate change is a major challenge for the world and the international community must work together. On the other hand, US President Joe Biden accused Russia on Wednesday of making "reckless" and "irresponsible" threats to use nuclear weapons and said Moscow had violated the core tenets of United Nations membership by invading Ukraine.

Biden slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin for starting an unprovoked war that some 40 U.N. members were helping Ukraine fight through funding and weapons.

"A permanent member of the United Nations Security Council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase a sovereign state from the map. Russia has shamelessly violated the core tenets of the United Nations Charter,” Biden said. "This war is about extinguishing Ukraine s right to exist as a state, plain and simple, and Ukraine s right to exist as a people. Wherever you are, wherever you live, whatever you believe, that should ... make your blood run cold."

The United States has acknowledged that some countries are concerned the Ukraine war had drawn global attention away from other crises. Washington has also long been vying for sway with Beijing. "Let me be direct about the competition between the United States and China. As we manage shifting geopolitical trends, the United States will conduct itself as a reasonable leader," Biden said. "We do not seek conflict. We do not seek a Cold War. We do not ask any nation to choose between the United States or any other partner," he said.

Biden also called out China for suspending bilateral cooperation with the United States on climate talks after U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi s visit to Taiwan. "The United States will work with every nation, including our competitors, to solve global problems like climate change.
