He described Russia&#8217;s actions as a\u200d &#8220;weaponization of energy&#8221; and emphasized the far-reaching consequences, from Africa to\u200b Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s clear, \u200cRussia&#8217;s attempt to weaponize the food shortage on the global market in exchange for recognition for some, \u200cif not all, of the captured territories,&#8221; Zelensky said.\u200c &#8220;Russia is \u200dlaunching the\u200c food prices as weapons. Their impact spans from the Atlantic Coast of Africa to the Southeast Asia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Zelensky also drew attention to Russia&#8217;s aggression towards Moldova, Georgia, \u200dand Syria, highlighting the potential larger consequences \u2064if Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine \u2064goes unchecked.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Each\u200b decade, Russia starts a new war. Parts\u200d of Moldova \u200dand Georgia remain occupied. Russia turned\u2064 Syria into ruins. And if not Russia, the chemical weapons would \u200dhave never been used \u200dthere in\u2062 Syria. Russia has \u200balmost swallowed Belarus. It \u2062is obviously threatening Kazakhstan\u2064 and other Baltic States. And the goal of the present \u2063war\u200d against Ukraine is\u2062 to tear our\u200c land, our people, our lives, our resources into a weapon against you, against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-reporter-grills-psaki-on-france-feeling-betrayed-over-deal-biden-made\/\" title=\"WATCH: Reporter Grills Psaki On France Feeling Betrayed Over Deal Biden Made\">international rules-based order<\/a>.

Gen. Mark Milley, chairman\u2062 of the Joint Chiefs \u200dof Staff, reported that Ukraine has liberated over half of its territory \u2062that was occupied by \u2062Russia.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Each Ukrainian advancement, every inch of reclaimed territory only happens because of the bravery, the honor, and the incredible sacrifice made by the Ukrainian people in their\u2063 military,&#8221;\u2062 he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ukraine&#8217;s efforts to liberate their \u200bhomeland from \u200cRussian occupation were discussed \u200cduring the \u2062Ukraine Defense Contact \u2064Group meeting led by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and\u2064 Gen.

Defense \u2063leaders from \u2064approximately 50 \u200bcountries attended the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>President Zelensky\u2062 is\u200d scheduled to visit the White \u2064House and meet with President Joe Biden and lawmakers on Capitol Hill later this week. As Congress debates whether \u200bto support Biden&#8217;s request for additional funding\u2063 for Ukraine, they also face\u2064 the looming possibility of \u200ca government shutdown at the\u2063 end of the month.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200c What specific actions \u200bdoes Zelensky call on the \u200bUnited Nations and its member states to take in response to Russia&#8217;s aggression?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  F Europe\u2063 to the shores of \u200bthe Pacific.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Ukrainian \u200cPresident\u200c \u2064\u200eunderscored the crucial \u2064need for\u200b international\u2063 solidarity and \u200cemphasized the collective responsibility to confront Russia&#8217;s aggression.

He called for the strengthening \u2062of international sanctions against Russia and the\u2062 provision of military assistance\u200c to Ukraine to help defend its sovereignty and protect its\u200c people from further harm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Russia must be made to understand that its aggressive \u2064actions will not be tolerated\u2064 by \u2064the international community,&#8221; Zelensky\u2062 asserted. \u200c&#8221;We must show unity and send a\u200c clear message that Russia&#8217;s aggression will not\u200b go unpunished.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b Ukrainian \u2062President expressed gratitude to the many\u200d countries that have\u200c already shown support \u200bfor Ukraine and condemned Russia&#8217;s actions. He praised the ongoing assistance provided by the United \u200bStates, European Union, and \u200bother nations,\u200d and called for their continued support in holding Russia accountable for its aggression.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the Ukrainian people directly, Zelensky\u200d reassured them that their\u200b sacrifices would not go unnoticed and that Ukraine\u2064 would continue to fight for its sovereignty and independence. He emphasized the importance of unity \u200bamong Ukrainians and called for resilience in the face\u2062 of adversity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will not allow Russia to undermine our \u200cspirit or \u2063break our will,&#8221; Zelensky declared. &#8220;Together, we will overcome this challenge and \u2062emerge stronger than ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the speech concluded, Zelensky received a standing ovation from the delegates at the United \u200bNations\u200c General Assembly. \u200cHis address served as \u200da powerful\u200d reminder of the ongoing crisis in\u2062 Ukraine and\u200d the urgent \u2064need for global support\u200c to counter Russian aggression.<\/p>\n<p>The international community must now heed Zelensky&#8217;s call and take bold actions\u2064 to hold Russia \u2063accountable for its behavior.
