and the russian war of aggression are dominating the summit alongside the major issue of climate change. our generation switch for turning point conform to quite poorly existential problems. climate change exploitation of natural nuclear possible incidence, or even worse, extreme poverty and virus. the ukrainian 1st lady has come to dabble to speak out on behalf of her country and to draw attention to the dramatic situation in ukraine will be a part of it. yes, the thought at this, if the, how does the world expect to reach climate neutrality shipper if it can't even stop the burning down of how ukrainian cities are you? this is what russia does with its artillery missiles iranian drowns. if you will
