"Russia’s aggression is a threat to the World" - Zelensky Says

NEW YORK, US

In a speech at the U.N. General Assembly, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine painted Russia as a habitual aggressor that has weaponized nuclear energy and essentials like food and water.

The aggressor is weaponizing many other things. And those things are used not only against our country, but against all of yours as well.

The food — since the start of the full-scale war, Ukrainian ports in the Black and Azov Seas have been blocked by Russia.

Many times, the world has witnessed Russia using energy as a weapon — Kremlin weaponized oil and gas to weaken the leaders of other countries when they came to the Red Square.

And now? Now this threat is even greater. Russia is weaponizing nuclear energy.

Look, please, what Russia did to our Zaporizhzhia power plant. Shelled it, occupied it, and now blackmails others with radiation leaks.

We know the names of tens of thousands of children and have evidence on hundreds of thousands of others kidnapped by Russia in the occupied territories of Ukraine, and later deported.

Ukraine is doing everything to ensure that after Russian aggression, no one in the world will dare to attack any nation.

Weaponization must be restrained. War crimes must be punished. Deported people must come back home and the occupier must return to their own land.
