UN General Assembly
2025

Ukrainians are peaceful people, but they are people who want to live freely in their own independent country. That's why we invest in defence. For many nations, there is simply no other way left. Nations can speak about their pain from stages like this. But even during bloodshed, there isn't a signal, international institution, that can truly stop it. That's how weak these institutions have become. Not Kansudan, or Somalia, or Palestine, or any other people living through war really expect from the UN or the global system. For decades, just statements and statements. And even everything happening in Gaza remains without a way out. Even now, Syria, after all the changes, still has to appeal to the world to ease the sanctions that are choking its economy. It has to ask and wait. Syria deserves stronger support from the international community. And as Russia's war against my country goes on, people are still dying every week. Yet, there is no ceasefire because Russia refuses. Russia abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, and we have brought some of them back.
