In an impassioned speech, he said Moscow had to be pushed back so the world could turn to solving pressing global challenges. Mr Zelenskiy drew applause as he took his place at the lectern in New York, sporting a signature olive green shirt for his first in-person appearance at the annual UNGA since Russia invaded his country in 2022.
“Ukraine is doing everything to ensure that after Russian aggression, no one in the world will dare to attack any nation,” he said. “Weaponisation must be restrained, war crimes must be punished, deported people must come back home and the occupier must return to their own land.
