- Russia found rare support for its war in Ukraine at the UN General Assembly on Monday from Syria, whose leadership has relied on Moscow’s support in its civil war.
- The top Syrian diplomat’s robust support of the Ukraine invasion came in contrast to speeches from other nominal Russian partners during the annual General Assembly.
- China, which before the war pledged wide cooperation with Russia, and India, a historic defense partner of Moscow despite warming ties with Washington, both called for dialogue to end the conflict in Ukraine.
