“No one other than ourselves can guarantee security,” he said. “Only strong alliances. Only strong partners. And only our own weapons. “
He argued that international law does not work without the support of “powerful friends” and, ultimately, of military safeguard.
Those who have “weapons decide who survives,” he said, calling him a “terrible” but inevitable reality.
“Ukrainians are peaceful people, but they are people who want to live freely in their own independent country. This is why we invest in defense. For many nations, it simply remains otherwise. ”
Systems failure
He underlined conflicts in Sudan, Somalia and Palestine as proof of a global system unable to prevent bloodshed or provide solutions.
“This is how weak these institutions are,” he said. “For decades, just declarations and declarations. »»
Turning to the war of Russia in Ukraine, he warned against the use of chemical weapons and famine as weapons against his people, the kidnapping of thousands of Ukrainian children and continuous attacks around the largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia.
“Yesterday, the plant has become black again,” he said, increasing the risk of catastrophe spectrum.
He also noted the recent incursions of Russian drones and hunters in Poland and Estonia and interference in neighboring Moldova.
“Europe cannot afford to lose Moldova,” he said, adding that support for the country’s stability was “not expensive, but the fact of not doing it would have a much higher price”.
Global arms race global
President Zelenskyy has warned that low international responses accelerate a global arms race, now reshaped by artificial intelligence.
“Dear leaders, we are now experiencing the most destructive arms race in human history because this time, it understands artificial intelligence,” he said. “We now need global rules for the way AI can be used in weapons. And this is just as urgent as preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. ”
He said Ukraine had developed attack drones and marine drones, which was pushing the Russian Navy in the Black Sea and striking strategic bombers.
“None of this would have happened if [Russian President Vladimir] Putin had not started this aggression on a large scale, “he said.
‘Act together to stop war’
The Ukrainian president urged nations to act collectively to end the war.
“Stoping this war now and in the world’s arms race is cheaper than building underground children’s gardens or massive bunkers for critical infrastructure later,” he said.
“Russia’s judgment is now cheaper than wondering who will be the first to create a simple drone bearing a nuclear warhead.”
He said that more than 40 countries were already part of the Ukrainian coalition and have called for broader support.
“So don’t stay silent while Russia continues to drag this war,” said Zelenskyy. “Please speak and condemn. Please join us to defend life and international order. People are waiting for action. “
