UN: Zelensky says "Russia will never stop" without increased pressure
The Ukrainian president spoke before the United Nations General Assembly amid an ongoing war with Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the United Nations General Assembly that "Russia will never stop" without stronger international pressure on Moscow.
This speech is part of a particularly busy week at the UN, marked by several interventions by world leaders on the war in Ukraine and the geopolitical tensions surrounding it, particularly around the Iranian issue.
Zelensky took advantage of this platform to once again call on his allies to maintain, or even strengthen, their military and financial support for Ukraine, as the conflict enters its fourth year.
The Ukrainian president warned that any relaxation of Western support would risk encouraging Moscow to continue its offensive. No official reaction from the Russian side was reported immediately after this statement.
The intervention adds to a series of speeches this week at the UN on the situation in Ukraine, as world leaders seek to define their respective positions on the continuing conflict.
