Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to address a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on September 24, according to Reuters.

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will on Tuesday address a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Russia's war in his country, said Slovenia's U.N. mission – president of the 15-member body for September," it said on Wednesday.

Russia invaded 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.

Annually in September, world leaders travel to New York to deliver the opening address at the annual session of the UN General Assembly.

Six days of speeches to kick off the 79th session will begin on September 24.
