Zelenskyy calls out Putin in UN speech, lays out 'peace formula

n a pre-recorded speech, Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy called for peace while asking for Russia to be held accountable for "crimes of aggression."
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanded that Russia be punished for attacking his country and assured the world that his military could drive out the invaders in a passionate address that drew a standing ovation from the U.N. General Assembly.

Zelenskyy, speaking remotely and in English on Wednesday, said Russia committed crimes against the "values that make you and me a community" in the U.N. He described grisly scenes found at hundreds of graves with men, women and children, some bound and tortured.

He dismissed Russian President Vladimir Putin's claim of a willingness to negotiate an end to the 7-month-old war. "They talk about the talks, but they announce military mobilization," he said. "They talk about the talks but announce pseudo referendums in the occupied territories."
