Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the world is in the most destructive arms race in history as he calls on the international community to act against Russia now, asserting in his address to the United Nations General Assembly that President Vladimir Putin wants to expand his war in Europe. Ukraine is only the first, and now Russian drones are already flying across Europe, and Russian operations are already spreading across countries, and Putin wants to continue this war by expanding it, Zelenskyy said on Wednesday at UN headquarters in New York.
We also mourn the Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska. She was brutally killed with a knife here in America, the very country where she was seeking refuge from Russia's war. And almost every day, when we open the news, we see headlines about violent attacks happening all around the world. Most of it is done with weapons. People are already used to it.
