Zelensky tells UN the 'ridiculous and endless war' must end

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the UN General Assembly that the "ridiculous and endless war" must end, insisting this should be his final address on the conflict. He stated no world leader supports its continuation except Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky spoke as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met in New York without a clear outcome. Lavrov demanded an end to Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure, while Zelensky expressed willingness to agree an energy truce after meeting President Donald Trump. Zelensky also denounced North Korean troops supporting Russia, warned of threats to Moldova, Poland and Baltic states, and announced the Freyja anti-ballistic program developed with nine European nations. He faces domestic challenges from martial law and corruption cases.
