Zelensky tells UN General Assembly to keep squeezing Russia's war revenues
Ukraine's president urged world leaders to maintain pressure on Moscow's income streams, calling continued economic pressure essential to impeding Russia's war effort.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly, urging world leaders to keep constraining Russia's revenues as a means of impeding its ongoing war effort, according to France 24.
In his address, Zelensky said that "Russia's revenues must remain a target," framing continued economic pressure on Moscow as a central component of the international response to the war.
The speech continues Zelensky's pattern of using major international forums to press allies for sustained, and in some cases intensified, economic measures against Russia, alongside continued military and diplomatic support for Ukraine.
His remarks come as the war continues to shape discussions at major international gatherings, with Ukrainian officials repeatedly stressing that economic pressure and continued Western support remain critical to the conflict's trajectory.
World leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly this week addressed a range of global crises, with the war in Ukraine remaining a central topic amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to determine the international community's continued role in the conflict.
