Zelensky’s Viral Reply to Russian Journalist: ‘On a Missile’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a four-word reply, "On a missile," when Russian journalists asked when he would visit Moscow, a moment that went viral during his UN General Assembly visit in New York. The tense exchange occurred outside UN headquarters, where Zelensky is attending the assembly to discuss ending the Russia-Ukraine war, including talks with US President Donald Trump. He has previously rejected visiting Moscow, citing dangers from Ukrainian drones. At the assembly, Zelensky warned the war could spread across Europe, called for more economic pressure on Russia, and highlighted AI's potential role in future warfare. He also accused Russia of using citizens from 47 countries in its conflict.
