Zelenskyy Calls Putin 'Patient Zero' of Global Aggression at UN

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the world community to contain Russia, labeling President Vladimir Putin as "Patient Zero" of warmongering during the UN General Debate in New York. Zelenskyy warned that Russia threatens Moldova, Poland, and the Baltic states, and disrespects sovereignty in the South Caucasus and Central Asia. He cited Russian brutality in Syria and Africa, and said North Korea's military cooperation with Moscow poses a growing danger to Asian neighbors.
