The west has so far failed to convince the global south that its concern for Ukraine does not come at the expense of issues such as the climate crisis, the UK foreign secretary has admitted.
Speaking on the margins of the UN general assembly in New York, James Cleverly said “the west will be in trouble unless it learns to listen better to the global south” and conceded that despite his efforts, foreign ministers whom he respects feel they only hear the words “Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine” from figures like him.
