Zelensky: this war cannot be calmed down by talks, action is needed

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that the war waged by Russia against Ukraine “cannot be calmed down by talking.” “Actions are necessary” - Russia must be forced to peace.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Zelenskyy on Telegram.

“We know that some people in the world want to talk to Putin. We know this. To meet, to talk, to communicate. But what exactly can they hear from him? That he is upset because we are exercising our right to protect our people? Or that he wants to continue the war and terror just so that no one thinks he was wrong?” - said the President, speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council in New York.

He emphasized that from the first second of this war, Russia has been doing something that cannot be justified under the UN Charter, it is committing an international crime.

“That is why this war cannot simply “die down”. That is why this war cannot be calmed down by talking. Action is necessary. And I am grateful to all the nations that really help in a way that saves the lives of our people,” Zelensky said.

He is convinced that Putin has violated so many international norms and rules that he will not stop on his own. “Russia can only be forced to peace. And this is exactly what is needed - to force Russia to peace as the only aggressor in this war, the only violator of the UN Charter,” the president emphasized.
