Zelensky calls for UN reform to respond to any aggression at global level

"We can reform the UN. So that all the states abide by international law, so that no one violates the world order. The UN system and, in particular, the UN Security Council today do not provide a fair representation for most peoples of the world. The voice of entire regions of the planet often cannot be heard when it is vital," Zelensky said at the Shangri-la Dialogue, Asia Security Summit, Ukrinform reports.

According to him, if this reform had already taken place, the world today could react to any aggression – and not only from Russia – at the global level.

At the same time, the President stressed that the Russian leadership wanted to reject all the achievements of human history, including the system of international law, and return to life in the 19th century or even earlier.

"Russian propaganda is trying hard to disseminate in your countries, as in many others, the disinformation thesis that Russia's war against Ukraine is something about NATO, about the role of America, about the West's efforts to advance somewhere in Europe. But Russia's war against Ukraine is far from being just about Europe. This is about globally important things," Zelensky said, addressing the Shangri-la Dialogue participants.

On February 24, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops shell and destroy key infrastructure facilities, massively fire on residential areas of Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages using artillery, MLRS, and ballistic missiles.
