Zelensky Warns Russia: 'General Frost' May Switch Sides

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia at the UN General Assembly that it will face a harsh winter if it continues attacking Ukraine's energy system, vowing to make the season painful for Moscow in return. Zelensky said Russia's leaders never imagined "General Frost" would switch sides, and Ukraine would ensure this happens if attacks on its energy infrastructure persist. He called for de-escalation before winter, emphasizing the need for both diplomacy and strength. At least two people were killed and six injured in Russian ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv early Thursday. Meanwhile, 51 countries issued a joint statement supporting Ukraine and urging Russia to accept a ceasefire, as Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called Russia a "global problem" rather than a great power.
