Zelenskyy Implores UN to Unite against Russia's Invasion | DW News

Sep 20, 2023 | Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has implored world leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly to stand united against Russia's invasion of his country. He said Moscow must be pushed back so the world can turn to solving pressing global challenges. He also urged world leaders to attend a peace summit, to help stop the war and future ones.

In addition, Ukraine's security service has rejected a report by the New York Times suggesting a deadly explosion in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kostyantynivka earlier in September was caused by a Ukrainian missile. The newspaper says that evidence collected by its journalists strongly suggested the blast was the result of an errant Ukrainian air defense missile. The reporters came to the conclusion after studying missile fragments, satellite images, witness accounts and social media posts. Ukraine blames Russia for the attack which killed at least 16 people.
