Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday denounced what he called UN Security Council inaction on Russia’s invasion of his country, in a rare interaction with senior Russian policymakers inside the United Nations.
Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya listens as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaks during a Security Council meeting.“Most of the world recognises the truth about this war. We should recognise that the UN finds itself in a deadlock on the matters of aggression,” Zelensky told the chamber.
The UN Security Council debate was Zelensky’s second appearance at the UN gathering, following his speech to the full assembly on the previous day. His latest address was filled with specific proposals to broaden Security Council representation and to suspend Russia’s veto power over the body, which has stymied the most punitive UN proposals in response to the invasion.
