Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged world leaders on Wednesday to continue their economic pressure on Russia, saying the country's "revenues must remain a target." "When someone gives Russia more money through trade, they give this war more time," he said at the U.N. General Assembly. "And that is exactly why we insist on limiting trade with the aggressor, and why we are burning Russia's revenues ourselves." President Zelensky said the more "freedom" Russian President Vladimir Putin has to act, "the more dangerous the world becomes for everyone else." "Can you even imagine him without war? He's patient-zero, the one from whom this idea of war keeps spreading further. And wherever it spreads, it brings only pain, instability, new risks, and of course, new crises," he said. "Russia's finances and Russia's production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped." #zelensky #ukraine #russia #putin #cspan
