Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told world leaders on Tuesday that Russia is “weaponising” everything from food and energy to abducted children in its war against Ukraine.
While the world has various agreements that restrict arms themselves, “there are no real restrictions on weaponisation”, he said at the UN General Assembly’s annual top-level meeting.
“When hatred is weaponised against one nation, it never stops there,” he said. “The goal of the present war against Ukraine is to turn our land, our people, our lives, our resources into weapons against you — against the international rules-based order.”
Mr Zelensky pointed to the food and fuel crunches, and he highlighted what Ukraine says were kidnappings of at least tens of thousands of children taken from Ukraine after Moscow’s invasion: “What will happen to them?” he asked.
“Those children in Russia are taught to hate Ukraine, and all ties with their families are broken. And this is clearly a genocide,” Mr Zelenskyy said.
