Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently addressed the UN General Assembly, calling for “real peace” in Ukraine and criticizing proposed peace plans that ignore the suffering of Ukrainians. Zelenskyy highlighted his peace formula, which has received support from nearly 100 nations and international organizations. He emphasized the need for a just and lasting peace, noting that the peace formula does not have veto power, making it the best opportunity for peace.
Zelenskyy also criticized other proposals that ignore the interests and suffering of Ukrainians and give Russian President Vladimir Putin political space to continue the war. He warned against settling for alternative peace plans that could result in more suffering and disasters. Zelenskyy called for the restoration of nuclear safety, the cessation of using energy as a weapon, and the return of captured Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.
The Ukrainian president emphasized the need to uphold the UN Charter to guarantee Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. He urged the international community to support his quest for real and just peace for Ukraine. Zelenskyy also warned of Putin’s plans to attack Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, highlighting the potential for a nuclear disaster if such attacks were carried out.
Zelenskyy’s address to the UN General Assembly underscores the urgency of the situation in Ukraine and the need for global support in ending the conflict. As world leaders gather at the UN, Zelenskyy’s call for unity and peace serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of prioritizing the well-being of the Ukrainian people.
