Ukraine gave up its third largest nuclear arsenal. Then the world decided that Russia should become the guardian of this power. However, history shows that it is Russia that deserves the most massive nuclear disarmament. And Russia deserves it even now – terrorists have no right to possess nuclear weapons. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at the beginning of his speech to the UN General Assembly.

“But as long as nuclear weapons remain in place, mass destruction accelerates. Russia is weaponizing many other things that are used not only against our country, but against all your countries. Many conventions restrict weapons, but there are no real restrictions on the use of food or roads as weapons,” he pointed out.

“Russia has blockaded our Black Sea and Azov ports and continues to direct missiles and drones at our Danube ports. It is trying to weaponize global food shortages in exchange for recognition of some, if not all, captured territories. Russia is using food and fuel prices as a weapon,” Zelensky said.

“Many times the world has witnessed how Russia uses energy as a weapon. Now the threat is even greater. Russia uses nuclear energy as a weapon. Look at what Russia has done to our nuclear power plant in Zaporozhye – shelled it, occupied it and now blackmails others with radiation leaks,” the Ukrainian president stressed.

“Various terrorist groups abduct children, but never before has their mass abduction and deportation been part of government policy. Not until now. Stolen Ukrainian children in Russia are taught to hate Ukraine. All ties with their families are severed. This is genocide,” he categorically stated.

“Ukraine is doing everything possible to make sure that after the Russian aggression, no one in the world will dare to attack any country. Armaments must be limited. War crimes must be punished. Deported people must return home. The occupiers must return to their own land,” said Zelensky, quoted by BGNES.
