UNITED NATIONS, United States - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will on Sept 24 address a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Russia's war in his country, said Slovenia's UN mission - president of the 15-member body for September.
The meeting will be held while world leaders are in New York for their annual gathering at the UN General Assembly.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It was overwhelmingly denounced by the 193-member General Assembly, which also demanded Moscow withdraw its troops, but the Security Council has been deadlocked as Russia is able to veto any action.
Mr Zelensky is travelling to the US with a "victory plan" that he wants to present to US President Joe Biden.
His trip comes at a critical juncture in the war, with Russian troops continuing to inch forward in eastern Ukraine despite Kyiv's forces launching a surprise incursion in August into Russia's Kursk region.
