Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been a constant backdrop to the U.N.
General Assembly this year. From influencing commodity prices to
exacerbating already difficult U.N. Sustainable Development Goals to
challenging the rules-based global order and effectiveness of
multilateral organizations. Events this week catapulted the conflict
back to the forefront as international leaders gathered. Werner Hoyer,
President of the European Investment Bank, and Urmas Reinsalu, Estonia's
foreign minister, come from different perspectives but have clear views
on necessary actions to support Ukraine and share a common level of
concern. POLITICO Global Insider author, Ryan Heath, visited both men at
their offices near the U.N. to learn what they found most concerning and
how they viewed their roles in supporting Ukraine.
