At the UN general debate in New York, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the international community to contain Russia. In his speech, he not only described the burden that his country had to bear during more than four and a half years of Moscow's war of aggression. Russia under Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin also threatens the Republic of Moldova, Poland and the Baltic states, warned Zelensky.
Moscow does not respect the independence of the states in the South Caucasus and Central Asia. Syria and countries in Africa have had painful experiences with Russian brutality. North Korea has advanced its military technology in cooperation with Russia and is becoming a greater threat to its Asian neighbors, he said.
Zelenskyj used a medical term to describe Putin: "He is patient zero, from whom the idea of war is spreading more and more widely." He makes the world more dangerous for everyone else. "That's why patient zero has to be stopped, we have to take away the space for him to act and spread evil."
Zelensky said his country was in need of help and, above all, urgently needed anti-aircraft weapons. At the same time, he described Ukraine's progress in drone technology, which would now be shared with partners. »It's not just about selling drones.
