Russia wants to disrupt global unity, Zelensky tells UN.

Russia and its "accomplices" are actively trying to prevent global unity, President Volodymyr Zelensky said at the United Nations' Summit of the Future on Sept. 23.

Zelensky arrived in the U.S. on Sept. 22, ahead of the 79th U.N. General Assembly and a series of meetings with world leaders devoted to presenting Ukraine's "victory plan." The Summit of the Future 2024, held at U.N. headquarters in New York City, covers a broad range of global themes, including peace and security.

Zelensky urged world leaders to join Ukraine's efforts "to overcome the destructiveness of Russia and its accomplices," calling on nations to participate in the next global peace summit for Ukraine.

"Putin has stolen much already, but he will never steal the world's future," he said.
