Zelensky addresses UN Security Council: Russia must be held accountable for crime of aggression

Speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council via video link, the president said that there is no war crime that the Russian occupiers have not yet committed on the territory of Ukraine.  Zelensky reminded about the deliberate creation of the threat of a radiation disaster, food crisis, viation of all international statutes and conventions. Separately, he focused on the murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian war criminals in the temporarily occupied enivka.

“The deliberate murder by the Russian occupiers of our prisoners of war in enivka became one of the most dreadful pages in the history of Eure. And there is an urgent need for a UN fact-finding mission to enivka, whose mandate should be extended to all Ukrainian prisoners of war currently held by Russian forces,” Zelensky said.

He stressed that so that there is never again a threat of a radiation disaster, Russia must leave the occupied territory of Ukraine, and so that there is never again a threat of a radiation disaster, Russia must leave the occupied territory of Ukraine.

“So that no country in the world can ever again disregard the UN Charter and conventions binding on all mankind, without exception for anyone – Russia must be held accountable for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. The relevant resution will be submitted for consideration by the 77th session of the UN General Assembly,” Zelensky added.
