Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi on Tuesday again expressed his skepticism about negotiations with Russia. The war in his country cannot simply disappear or be calmed down by talks, Zelensky said at a meeting of the UN Security Council in New York.
“Action must be taken. From the first second of this war, Russia has done things that cannot be justified by the UN Charter,” the Ukrainian president said. “Russia can only be forced to make peace, and that is exactly what is needed.”
“But what could they (other governments, note) hear from him (Vladimir Putin, note)? That he is angry because we exercise our right to defend our people? Or that he wants to continue the war and terror so that no one thinks he is wrong?”, Zelenskyi said about the negotiations with Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin.
Not everyone listened
Not everyone listened to him. Russian ambassador Vasily Nebenzya demonstratively leafed through his documents and looked at his mobile phone. But he also behaved towards the Slovenian follow-up speaker.
Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump also commented on the war in Ukraine on Tuesday. The United States should withdraw, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have done exactly the opposite. ‘Now they can’t get us out. ‘You can’t do it.’ Trump promised he would ‘get it done anyway’.
The more weapons are sent to the battlefield, the harder it will be to achieve a ceasefire, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in New York. “We will continue to talk to all relevant parties, including Russia and Ukraine.”
