Russia will expand aggression beyond Ukraine if not stopped, Zelensky warns

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the United Nations that Russia will expand its aggression beyond Ukraine if it is not stopped. Zelensky stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin "will keep driving the war forward wider and deeper" if the international community fails to act. The Ukrainian leader called for a special tribunal to hold Russia accountable for its invasion of Ukraine, which has resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life. Zelensky emphasized the need for stronger sanctions and military aid to Ukraine to help it defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The speech comes as the war in Ukraine enters its eighth month, with Russia's forces making slow but steady progress in the eastern part of the country. Zelensky's warning underscores the concerns of the Ukrainian government that the conflict could escalate further if the international community does not take decisive action to stop Russia's aggression.
