Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the UN Security Council, urging nations to 'force Russia into peace' amid ongoing conflict. He criticized Russia's actions as international crimes and called for increased military support from allies. The meeting highlighted a divide between Western and Global South nations regarding the Ukraine war.
Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the conflict has drawn international attention. Zelenskyy's recent visit to the UN aims to rally support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity while addressing the humanitarian crises in other regions, such as Gaza.
