Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday that Russia was trying to manipulate global food shortages to win international recognition of land it grabbed from Kyiv.
In his first in-person appearance at the annual UNGA since Russia invaded his country in 2022, Zelenskyy criticized Moscow for what he said was an "attempt to weaponize (a) food shortage on (the) global market in exchange for recognition of some, if not all, of captured territories."
He accused Russia of committing genocide by kidnapping Ukrainian children and said Kyiv was working on preparing a global peace summit. “This is clearly a genocide," he said.
"Ukraine is doing everything to ensure that after the Russian aggression, no one in the world would dare to attack any nation," Zelenskyy said. "The occupier must return to his own land."
