Milan, September 23 (LaPresse) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his address to the UN General Assembly, began by quoting a post by US President Donald Trump on Truth in which he stated that the war in Ukraine “must end.” “I don’t know a single world leader who would say otherwise, except one,” Zelensky said from the UN podium, naming Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky urged world leaders to continue reducing Russia’s revenues and hindering its war efforts. “Russia’s revenues must remain a goal,” Zelensky stated in his speech, adding that “when someone provides Russia with more money through trade, they buy more time for this war.” “That is precisely why we insist on limiting trade with the aggressor and why we are ourselves draining Russia’s revenues,” he added. Zelensky spoke in English. Russia’s turn before the Assembly will be on Saturday. President Vladimir Putin hasn’t appeared before the Assembly in years, sending Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in his place.
