Vladimir Putin 'will keep driving the war forward wider and deeper' if he is not stopped, Ukraine's President Zelensky has warned. Speaking at the UN's General Assembly in New York, Zelensky said more countries would be met with Russian aggression unless allies displayed a united front and ramped up support. He said all nations were threatened by a global arms race, as military technology advances, adding that 'weapons decide who survives' and called for global rules on AI.
His comments come after US President Donald Trump shifted his position on the Russia-Ukraine war, saying for the first time that Ukraine could win back all of its land. Zelensky criticized international institutions, suggesting they are 'too weak' to offer Ukraine safety guarantees, and argued that 'stopping Russia now' was cheaper than 'wondering who will be the first to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear warhead.'
The Ukrainian leader warned that Europe cannot afford to lose Moldova to Russian influence, referencing recent incursions by Russia into the airspace of NATO member countries. He urged allies to see the urgent need for action against the backdrop of a rising threat from Moscow.
