"Let's look at the Western Hemisphere. President Trump led an operation in Venezuela, and Maduro was arrested. And there were different opinions about it, but the fact remains, Maduro is on trial in New York. Sorry, but Putin is not on trial. And this is the fourth year of the biggest war in Europe since World War II and the man who started it is not only free, he is still fighting"
"It's Putin who is trying to decide how the frozen Russian assets should be used, not those who have the power to punish him for this war. Thankfully, the EU decided to freeze Russian assets indefinitely, and I'm grateful for that. Zelensky argued that the United States' essentially non-position on a Putin arrest warrant issued in 2023 by the International Criminal Court makes it so others avoid the topic. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin, accusing him of war crimes in Ukraine."
Volodymyr Zelensky called for increased European and U.S. assistance to stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He contrasted the U.S.-led capture and prosecution of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro with the lack of criminal accountability for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky noted that Putin remains free, continues to contest frozen Russian assets in Europe, and benefits from limited enforcement. He criticized the United States' stance toward the International Criminal Court arrest warrant for Putin as contributing to avoidance of the issue. Zelensky welcomed the EU decision to freeze Russian assets indefinitely while urging further concrete measures to ensure accountability.
