Zelenskyy Urges Continued Sanctions on Russia, Highlights Foreign Fighters at UN AssemblyPreviousNext

At the UN General Assembly, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged world leaders to continue restricting Russia's revenues to weaken its war effort, describing Russian President Vladimir Putin as 'Patient Zero' of ongoing conflict. Zelenskyy accused Russia of using fighters from 47 countries, including India and North Korea, and warned of potential Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure this winter. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated Russia's readiness to negotiate peace but rejected calls to pause the war, citing concerns over Ukraine's rearmament. The conflict, ongoing for over four years, has caused significant casualties and global economic impacts.
