Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared somber and, at times, angry in a blistering address to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, as he sought to shore up support for his country’s war effort and demand that Russia be punished for the invasion.

Wearing his trademark green fatigues at the dais at the front of the hall, Zelenskyy furrowed his brow as he called for other countries to recognize that Russia was not just a threat to Ukraine — but to the entire world. He appealed for other countries to help hold the line against Moscow, as “mass destruction is gaining momentum.”

“While Russia is pushing the world to the final war, Ukraine is doing everything to ensure that after Russian aggression, no one will dare to attack any nation,” Zelenskyy said.

There are many problems everywhere in the world. War, wherever it is occurring, is bad. You do not have to use up all your time thinking about this specific problem. However, you should care about war, because, just as Russia can invade Ukraine, it can invade other countries and other nations can do it too. We should work as a society to control and ban evil activities.

If you cared about war you'd care about ANY country who starts it, but you don't, otherwise you'd be far more vocal. Your outrage is selective

Israel has been invading Palestine for what, 70 years now? But I bet you'd make up any excuse you can to justify that

I like how you just assume someone’s opinion so you can ham-fistedly shut down their argument. It’s not even a decent strawman. Care to pivot to another conflict when I point out that I think Palestine should be its own country and Israel is 100% in the wrong when it comes to illegal settlements?

It’s crazy how people can care about more than one thing at a time, huh?
