Hello and welcome to our war policy in Ukraine.
Today, Volodymyr Zelenskyy will make his first appearance at the United Nations General Assembly.
The Ukrainian president showed he would meet with U. S. President Joe Biden and congressional leaders, as well as military and industry officials.
If you missed last night, here are the main events:
After arriving in the United States, the Ukrainian president’s first engagement was to meet with wounded Ukrainian infantrymen at Staten Island University Hospital.
The president shook hands, handed out prizes and posed for photographs at the facility where they are being treated for their injuries.
No casualties were reported.
Maxim Marchenko, 51, and two anonymous Russian accomplices have been charged with their shell companies to hide the fraudulent purchase of OLED microdisplays.
OLED microdisplays can be used in telescopic sights, night vision goggles, thermal optics and weapons systems, according to Manhattan federal prosecutors.
Marchenko was charged with seven counts, in addition to wire fraud, smuggling, money laundering and four counts of conspiracy.
If convicted, he faces prison.
Marchenko and his accomplices are accused of falsely claiming that the generation, which had civilian and military uses, was sent to China, Hong Kong and elsewhere for use in electron microscopes for medical research, prosecutors said.
They also said Marchenko’s corporations funneled more than £1. 6 million (£1. 3 million) to the United States for the program, which ran from May 2022 to August 2023.
Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division said the case “reinforces the department’s commitment to protecting U. S. security and countering Russian aggression in Ukraine through rigorous enforcement of our export laws and sanctions. “
Over the past week and weekend, you may remember that we brought you the latest news about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s vacation to Russia.
The six days included talks with Vladimir Putin on building closer ties in addition to the military front.
Kim left Russia on Sunday aboard an armored train, after a farewell rite at a railway station in Artyom, a town in the far east of Russia about two hundred kilometers from the border with his country.
Before leaving Russia, Kim allegedly won suicide drones and a bulletproof vest as gifts.
However, global considerations also emerged about the option of arms deals between the two countries, which are engaged in separate clashes with the West.
The center of Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, was hit by Russian missiles, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
Several Telegram accounts also reported explosions in the city.
Sky News has not been able to independently verify this information.
The Ukrainian president and his first daughter showed they arrived in the United States ahead of the high-level week United Nations General Assembly in New York and then in Washington DC.
In a message on X (formerly Twitter), Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that he would meet with President Joe Biden and congressional leaders, as well as military and industry officials.
One of the first occasions on President Zelensky’s itinerary is the Staten Island University Hospital, where he will present awards to Ukrainian soldiers.
Iran’s president denied that his country has sent drones to Russia for use in the conflict, “we oppose the war in Ukraine. “
During his meeting with the media at the UN General Assembly in New York, President Ebrahim Raisi reiterated his willingness to mediate in the Russian-Ukrainian war, despite being one of the staunchest supporters of the Kremlin.
This comes as the United States accuses Iran only of supplying the weapons, but also of helping Russia build a factory to manufacture them.
Acknowledging Iran’s close ties to Russia, Raisi has denied sending weapons to Moscow since the war began in February last year.
“If they have a document that Iran delivered weapons or drones to the Russians after the war,” he said, then they present it.
But U. S. and European officials say the massive number of Iranian drones used in the war shows that the use of those weapons not only continued but intensified after hostilities began.
Speaking just hours after the release of five Americans detained in Iran, Raisi also warned that the deal with the United States, which led to the exchange of prisoners and the release of assets, can “help build trust” between the two countries.
