Volodymyr Zelensky says "will not end this war without pressure" on Russia
“will not end this war without pressure”
Reported September 24, 2026 by jpost.com. Checked word for word against that report.
At the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pressed for stronger international action against Russia, including sanctions, more support, and pre-winter diplomacy. He warned the cold season could be severe for Ukrainians and that, if Russia keeps striking energy and heating systems, Ukraine would seek to impose comparable hardship on Russia. Shortly before his address, a Russian attack on Kyiv killed at least two people, one of the heaviest strikes in a campaign using swift, high-altitude drones that are difficult to bring down. Zelensky tied such assaults to what he described as inadequate pressure on Moscow and asked the United States for ballistic interceptors. He also said Ukraine captured two North Korean soldiers and sent them to South Korea; Seoul did not confirm details, citing their families in North Korea.
