UKRAINAN President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday stressed the global importance of his country’s defence against the Russian invasion.
Zelensky stressed the importance of his country’s independence in an address to the UN Security Council in New York.
“Today our country is celebrating Independence Day and now everyone can see how much the world depends on our independence,” Zelensky told the meeting via video link.
Russia had failed earlier in an attempt to prevent him from speaking.
If Russia is not stopped now, Zelensky asserted, “Russian killers will probably end up in other countries – in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America.”
He added: “Russia must be held accountable for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.”
Exactly six months ago on Feb. 24, Russia invaded its neighbour. (dpa/NAN)
