Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tues delivered an impassioned speech to world leaders at #UNGA, pushing for sustained support for his embattled nation’s fight against #Russia as he embarked on a delicate mission to bolster his cause globally & in #Washington, Ukraine’s most important partner.
Even as he embarked on his mission to confront skeptical voices, Zelensky received a warm welcome inside the grand #UN chamber. But in a possible sign of the challenges he faces, he delivered his address to a ½ full house, w/many delegations declining to appear & listen to what he had to say. “#MassDestruction is gaining momentum. The aggressor is weaponizing many other things & those things are used not only against our country, but against all of yours as well, fellow leaders,” #Zelensky said.
