Zelensky at UN: Stop Russia now or Putin Will Expand War in Ukraine

Ukrainian president criticised the weakness of international institutions for failing to curb Russia. He said Putin's “stalling is now easy” rather than trying countries to protect themselves from Russia later.

For artificial intelligence and weapons such as drones, he said: “We are now living the most destructive arms race in human history”, adding that global rules for artificial intelligence must be established.

Zelensky said there was a good “meeting” with Donald Trump on Tuesday, but that while he appreciates American support, “at the end, peace depends on all of us”.
