Speech by President Zelenskyy at the UN General Assembly

This week, Ukrainian President V. Zelenskyy addressed the UN General Assembly; see the full text of his speech on the official website of the President of Ukraine.

In this regard, I would like to draw your attention to a number of points below.

Earlier, post-Maidan Ukrainian rulers had declared:

After the Ukrainian people had overthrown the corrupt Yanukovych regime in February 2014, Russia started…

And it should be noted that even Barak Obama personally named V. Yanukovych a corrupt ruler; see here.

However, over the past 10 years, the post-Maidan Ukrainian authorities have been failing to prove that V. Yanukovych had stolen even a cent. In 2014, at the request of the Ukrainian authorities, Interpol had issued an arrest warrant (a Red Notice) for V. Yanukovych, but since the Ukrainian authorities were unable to prove their accusations, the information about Yanukovych was removed from the Interpol data base and you can see it yourself on the Interpol official website.

Now V. Zelenskyy explained the reason for the current Ukrainian crisis as follows:

… Russia, a country more than twenty times larger than Ukraine in territory, still wants even more land, more land – which is insane – and is seizing it, day by day, while wanting to destroy its neighbor.

However, it remains unclear from V. Zelensky’s speeches why Russia had not wanted until 2014 to “destroy Ukraine and seize its land”.

This time, V. Zelenskyy did not repeat his usual fairy tale about hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children allegedly deported to Russia. Ukraine’s American curators probably had explained to him that after the UN had checked his accusations, it was completely stupid to raise this issue; see in this regard the thread The UN has not confirmed “deportation” of thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia.

This time at the UN General Assembly, Zelenskyy said simply:

We need to bring home all our captured soldiers and civilians forcibly deported to Russia.

As usual in his speeches, Zelenskyy called for compliance with the UN Charter.

We must uphold the UN Charter and guarantee our right – Ukraine’s right – to territorial integrity and sovereignty, just as we do for any other nation.

But at the same time, Zelenskyy always asks support from the Americans who constantly violate the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries. For example, in 2003, the United States invaded Iraq under the false pretext of that country having weapons of mass destruction. And in 2008, the United States recognized the independence of the province of Kosovo from Serbia.

V. Zelenskyy devoted a significant part of his speech to the security situation of Ukrainian nuclear power plants. He announced that the Russian government allegedly wants to blow them up:

Recently, I received yet another alarming report from our intelligence.

Now, Putin does seem to be planning attacks on our nuclear power plants and their infrastructure, aiming to disconnect the plants from the power grid.

However, Zelenskyy did not explain why Putin might need such actions as strikes on Ukrainian nuclear power plants, although such actions are dangerous for the entire world.

After all, earlier in his speech, Zelenskyy had admitted that even without that:

As of today, Russia has destroyed all our thermal power plants and a large part of our hydroelectric capacity…

Just imagine, please, your country with 80 percent of its energy system gone – with such a destroyed part of the system. What kind of life would that be?
