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.

        If most people on the planet see a different narrative, it should be trivial for you to show us the way.

        from both sides and from historic perspectives. It is not that hard. You should try it too

        That’s a bit of a false equivalency… so far the only places that have politically or materially supported Russia have been countries without a free press, or have a severely restricted press.

        I don’t really see how the historic narrative supports your claim either. Russian governments have always seen Crimea as a very important strategic asset to conquer and hold.
