Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly, articulating concerns over what he described as “the most destructive arms race in history.” He urged the international community to take decisive action against Russia, asserting that President Vladimir Putin’s intentions are to escalate the conflict across Europe. Zelenskyy’s comments followed a meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump, who reaffirmed his support for Ukraine and criticized Russia’s aggressive tactics, expressing confidence that Ukraine can reclaim its lost territories. This escalating arms race and the geopolitical dynamics underscore the urgent need for a unified global response to avert further destabilization in the region.
