The Ukrainian president warns that Russian aggression will not end in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the United Nations on Tuesday to rally behind Kyiv and endorse its peace proposals to end Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia.
“History shows it was Russia who deserved nuclear disarmament the most back in the 1990s, and Russia deserves it now,” Zelenskyy declared. “Terrorists have no right to hold nuclear weapons.” This was Zelenskyy’s first in-person appearance at the annual U.N. gathering since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Although many of the countries have signed on to past U.N. General Assembly resolutions condemning Russia’s aggression, they have not taken stronger moves, such as reducing purchases of Russian energy products or enforcing U.S. and European sanctions on the Kremlin.Zelenskyy made overtures to some of these nations in his speech, focusing specifically on Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian grain exports and its manipulation of the global energy market.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's full 2023 60 Minutes interview in UkrainianLanguage translation is more art than science. Different translators have varied opinions of words and their meaning. For last week's interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, we used the services of three independent interpreters of the Ukrainian language. The first translation occurred in the moment, simultaneously, during the interview. Later, a second translator watched the entire interview on video and translated Ukrainian to English verbatim. In the final editing process, a third translator sat with us and verified the edits that are always necessary for clarity and concision. At some points in our story, when phrases in English and Ukrainian did not match each other in length, we made the best effort possible to convey Mr. Zelenskyy's comments with precision and context. As a service to Ukrainian speakers, we are posting the interview in its entirety.
