In his speech from the main UN General Assembly podium, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called the Russian dictator Putin “a zero patient” who spreads the idea of war around the world.
The head of state emphasized that the Kremlin’s master “constantly looks for someone who will help him kill even more people for every kilometer of land, seize even more territories” — instead of governing his own state. According to Zelensky, it is “hard to imagine Putin without war.” From him the idea of war “will spread further, bringing pain, instability, new risks and crises.”
The President of Ukraine stated that Defense Forces strikes on Russia’s oil industry aim to undermine the enemy’s ability to finance the war and make it more brutal and destructive. And while Ukraine is stopping Putin by depriving him of funds and production, “someone in the world is easing sanctions on Russian oligarchs, which gives this war more time.”
Zelensky posed a rhetorical question to those present in the New York hall: “Would your country survive if you had to face something similar to what Ukraine is dealing with?”
The presidents of Ukraine and the United States discussed possible ways to de-escalate the war during a meeting in New York. Ukraine believes pressure on the aggressor must be increased, Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference in the United States.
This refers both to pressure on the battlefield and long-range strikes, and to sanctions pressure from partners. The U.S. president now has his hands untied on this issue thanks to a bill co-authored by Senator Lindsey Graham.
“If Russia does not agree to negotiations in one format or another, we will certainly do everything so that the United States and President Trump decide to tighten sanctions,” the president explained.
It now seems that Ukraine will endure another winter in war. Ukraine is ready for an energy truce. It is also ready for a truce at sea, including grain and metallurgy. “I talked about this with leaders of countries that are very interested in this. Because interested parties are not only the sides in the war, not only the United States, but Egypt, with whom I spoke, Turkey, India, the Emirates,” Zelensky said.

Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping arrived in the United States for a three-day state visit. At the Andrews Air Force Base the head of state’s plane was personally greeted by President Donald Trump.
As the BBC writes, a red carpet was rolled out on the stairs — just as Trump did last year for Putin in Alaska. During the leaders’ meeting, U.S. Air Force fighters performed a ceremonial flyover above the airport. Correspondents in Washington note this is the greatest honor Trump has organized for his counterpart during the Republican’s time in the White House. Such a reception underscores the importance the president attaches to the Chinese leader’s visit.
Trump and Xi are expected to discuss customs tariffs, trade agreements, AI development, the wars in Iran and Ukraine, and the situation regarding Taiwan. Xi Jinping has already stated that China and the United States “should be partners, not rivals.”
