In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanded that Russia and Vladimir Putin be punished for their actions. – A crime has been committed against Ukraine and we demand a fair punishment for the aggression, violation of borders and territories, Zelenskyj said in a video speech on Wednesday evening. He said the punishment should include exclusion from voting in international bodies, and that Russia should be stripped of its veto power in the UN Security Council. Punishment should be a condition for peace building in the future. – When the attacker is part of the decision-making process in the international organisation, you must be isolated until the aggression stops, he said. Furthermore, he said that Russia must be punished for having taken the lives of thousands of people. For torturing women and men. One who wants war – We have no choice, we have to defend ourselves against the attacker, Zelenskyj said. In the speech, he promised that Ukraine will recapture all areas that have been occupied, but that the country needs more weapons and time to make it happen. – Ukraine, Europe and the world want peace. There is only one who wants war. If he could, he would interrupt my speech and tell us that he is satisfied with this war, his war, Zelenskyy said. Many delegations gave Zelenskyj a standing ovation after his speech. The Russian delegation remained seated. Zelenskyj is the only leader who has been allowed to deliver a speech via video to the UN summit, according to the AFP news agency.
