Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the nations of the world to punish Russia for launching a war against his country.
Zelensky said that a crime has been committed against the country. There was a crime against our state borders. There was a crime against our people. It was against the dignity of our women and men to commit the crime. The values of the United Nations were violated.
In order to allow Zelensky to speak to the General Assembly via video feed, seven member states voted against it. Zelensky used his remarks many times to point out that Russia must be held accountable for launching a pre-emptive war on its neighbor.
"Ukraine demands punishment for trying to steal our territory, punishment for the murders of thousands of people, punishment for the tortures and humiliations of women and men, and punishment for the catastrophic turbulence Russia provoked with its illegal war."
Zelensky claimed to have a 5-point formula for peace that included punishing Russia. His plan also included guarantees to protect life, the restoration of security measures, as well as future security guarantees.
Zelensky said that international punishment against Russia should be carried out until the internationally recognized border of Ukraine is restored. Zelensky said that international sanctions against Moscow should remain in place until then.
Zelensky said that Russia should be stripped of its veto power on the UN Security Council. As the war rages just miles away, he took aim at some Russian citizens who have continued to vacation in the area.
Zelensky said that Russia shouldn't be allowed to enjoy tourism or shopping in the territory of those who value this but should be encouraged through visa restrictions to fight against the aggression of their own state.
Zelensky said that as the General Assembly was taking place, the Ukrainian military was excavating a mass grave in Izyum.
Zelensky said that the bodies of women and men, children and adults, civilians and soldiers were found there.
Zelensky asked why the Russian military were so focused on castration. They wanted to do this to other people so what was done to them?
President Joe Biden denounced Russia's invasion of Ukraine in a speech before the assembly.
Biden said that the war was about extinguishingUkraine's right to exist as a state and as a people. It should make your blood run cold wherever you are.
Biden made clear that the U.S. would not back down in its opposition to Russian aggression when he said the U.S. would not back down in its opposition to Russian aggression Zelensky renewed his call for more military equipment.
This is war for the rest of our lives. We need defense support because of that. Military equipment and shells. It is possible to liberate our land with offensive weapons. Financial support is needed to keep internal stability and fulfill social obligations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his speech on Friday that he would partially mobilize 300,000 reserve soldiers to the military. He threatened to use nuclear weapons against the U.S. and Europe.
The territorial integrity of our homeland, our independence and freedom will be ensured, with all the means at our disposal, said Putin. Those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the winds can change.
Zelensky said that the latest act in the conflict proved that Putin was the one who posed.
Missiles were fired at a nuclear power plant in South Ukraine. The buildings were damaged by the explosion. Walls and windows were damaged. Only 300 meters from the reactor's walls, the rockets exploded. Zelensky said that all of you are a target because of the IAEA's appeal to Russia to stop hostile activity against any nuclear facilities of Ukraine. Russian radiation blackmailing is something that should worry each and every one of you because you won't be able to get a vaccine against radiation sickness.
