Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the UN at the General Assembly, saying: "What can any nation living in war expect from the UN or the global system? For decades, just declarations upon declarations. Even everything happening in Gaza remains without a solution." He added: "Look at Israel. Almost two years have passed and they still haven't released the hostages. They should be released, but even this hasn't happened yet. For years, there have been no real solutions to other threats - whether chemical weapons or hunger used as a weapon."
