Zelenskyy Urges World Leaders to Cut Off Russia's Money and War Machine at UN General Assembly
Zelenskyy said 2 people were killed in Kyiv as he pressed leaders to cut Russia’s war funding and tighten sanctions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, urging leaders to cut Russian revenue streams as drone attacks in Kyiv killed two and wounded 23.
Zelenskyy confirmed Ukrainian forces captured North Korean troops in combat and transferred two to South Korea, framing the incident as evidence of an axis trading soldiers for Russian military technology.
Artificial intelligence could decide battlefield outcomes as early as next year, Zelenskyy warned, while Russian President Vladimir Putin's territorial ambitions threaten neighboring nations like Moldova and Poland.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected calls for an immediate halt to hostilities, arguing that a temporary ceasefire would only allow Ukraine and Western allies time to rearm.
In the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, two people were injured when a strike ignited a large fire at a shopping mall, reflecting the conflict's continued impact across the region.
