Zelenskyy Urges Global Action to End Ukraine Conflict
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has delivered a stark warning to the international community, urging collective action to end the ongoing conflict. In a recent address, he highlighted the global system's failure to prevent bloodshed and called for more countries to join Ukraine's security coalition.
Zelenskyy pointed to conflicts in Sudan, Somalia, and Palestine as evidence of the global system's inability to prevent violence or deliver solutions. He warned that a global arms race, now driven by artificial intelligence, is the most destructive in human history. The president urged nations to speak out and join Ukraine in defending life and international law.
Currently, 26 countries are willing to send troops for peacekeeping in Ukraine, with discussions ongoing for security guarantees and joint peacekeeping contingents. The Ukraine Defense Contact Group, established in March 2022, includes 22 official members and several unofficial supporters. Recent high-level talks in Paris and EU summits have discussed concrete security guarantees and Ukraine's integration, but full consensus remains elusive due to Hungarian opposition. The US position under President Trump remains cautious, emphasizing European leadership.
Zelenskyy's call for broader support comes as over 40 countries are already part of Ukraine's coalition. He warned of Russia's use of chemical weapons, famine, abduction of children, and attacks around Europe's largest nuclear power plant. With international institutions deemed 'too weak' to stop wars, Zelenskyy argued that international law needs the backing of 'powerful friends' and military backup to be effective.
