"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the world is in the most destructive arms race in history as he calls on the international community to act against Russia now, asserting in his address to the United Nations General Assembly that President Vladimir Putin wants to expand his war in Europe. Ukraine is only the first, and now Russian drones are already flying across Europe, and Russian operations are already spreading across countries, and Putin wants to continue this war by expanding it, Zelenskyy said on Wednesday at UN headquarters in New York."
"Despite expressing his concerns over the global arms race, the Ukrainian leader said weapons will make the difference in the war with Russia, not international law. If a nation wants peace, it still has to work on weapons. It's sick, but that's the reality, Zelenskyy said. Not international law, not cooperation weapons decide who survives."
"Trump said on Tuesday that he believed Ukraine could win back all the territory it has lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the US leader's repeated calls for Kyiv to make concessions to end the war. Yesterday, we had a good meeting. President Trump and I also spoke with many other strong leaders, and together, we can change a lot. I appreciate the support we are receiving, Zelenskyy told UNGA."
An address to the United Nations General Assembly warned that Russia intends to expand its war across Europe and that Ukraine may be only the first target. Reports of Russian drones flying across Europe and operations spreading across countries were cited as evidence of widening aggression. The address described the present moment as the most destructive arms race in history and urged immediate international action to counter Russia. The message stressed that weapons, rather than international law or cooperation, are determining survival in the conflict. A recent meeting with the US President was followed by expressions of support and a belief that Ukraine could reclaim lost territory. Moscow denied accusations of airspace incursions.
