Zelensky calls Russian warfare madness

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has accused Russian head of state Vladimir Putin of further intentions to conquer Ukraine despite significant losses. Russia has only conquered 1,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory since the beginning of the year, and almost 250,000 soldiers have been killed or wounded, Zelensky said in the UN general debate. “21 countries in the world have a smaller population,” said Zelensky. "This is crazy."

"I don't know anyone who openly supports this war, except for one man," Zelensky continued. "Russia is a country that already has 17 million square kilometers of its own territory." Nevertheless, Putin would risk the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to conquer eastern Ukraine, something he has been failing at for almost five years. At the same time, he believes that Putin wants to conquer more Ukrainian cities, including beyond the battle zones in eastern Ukraine. “Does anyone else think he is sensible and moderate?” asked Zelensky.

The Ukrainian president also warned of North Korea's increasing involvement in the war against his country. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would use his soldiers “like currency.” “Do we really want to give such a power more time to learn how to wage war?”

Zelensky said that more and more countries in Europe would also be affected by the war. »Russia has claims against our neighboring country Moldova. It constantly threatens Poland and the Baltic states. “Russia shows no respect for the statehood of the countries in the South Caucasus and Central Asia.”
