🇺🇦🗣️ Some of the most important President @ZelenskyyUa quotes from the UN General Assembly speech:
1/ “I am aware of attempts to make some shady deals behind the scenes. Evil cannot be trusted. Ask Prigozhin if one should trust Putin's promises. Please hear me out. Let unity decide everything openly" 2/ Ukraine surrendered its third largest nuclear arsenal. Then the world decided that Russia should become the custodian of such power. But subsequent history proved that it was Russia that most deserved nuclear disarmament back then, in the 1990s. Russia deserves disarmament even now: terrorists do not have the right to possess nuclear weapons.

▫️ANP is a huge list of tasks on dozens of pages, which copies the structure of the MAP. This document in its current form is by design impossible to implement, and only possible to "demonstrate progress in implementation"

Several Leopards have already been destroyed, Zaluzhnyi acknowledged, adding that “we didn’t get Leopards to ride in parades or have politicians or celebrities take pictures with them. They came here for the war. And a Leopard on the battlefield is not a Leopard but a target.”
