The 193-member United Nations General Assembly is on Friday due to consider a proposal for Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to address the annual gathering of world leaders next week with a pre-recorded video.

Diplomats expect Russia to call a vote on the proposed decision, which has been drafted by Ukraine. Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said on Wednesday that Russia opposed allowing Zelenskiy to speak via video.

"Zelenskiy travels perfectly well around the country ... but he can't come here. And if you can't come, that means you send your representative to speak at the General Assembly," Nebenzia told reporters.In a note to General Assembly members, seen by Reuters, Ukraine's U.N. mission said Zelenskiy "cannot participate in-person at the meetings of the General Assembly due to ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine.

For the past two years world leaders have been allowed to submit video statements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year they are expected to travel to New York to speak in U.N. General Assembly chamber. Within a week of Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, nearly three-quarters of the General Assembly voted to reprimand Moscow and demand it withdraw its troops. Three weeks it again overwhelmingly denounced Russia for creating a "dire" humanitarian situation.Reporting by Michelle Nichols; additional reporting by David Ljunggren; editing by Diane Craft

If this man is a king he is a king for the Americans and the Europeans not for Asians and Africans

Does Zelensky own any adult clothes?

Why not ask US to delivee the speech as most of Ukraine President's speeches are written for him from USA auch as to downgrade Russia, Europe, Taiwan, South Korea and China.

This guy is useless

Can we have enough of this clown 🤡 already Everyone is sick and tired 🥱

I guess he overextended his forces with this brilliant offensive.

I hope they let him. The world has allowed Russia to go too far for too long

RUSSIA IS A TERRORIST STATE

We are waiting for putin permition?

He looks like a dictator Sorry but like this he is looking...and I think he is one

What’s this video call business all the time?

It is annoying. He fuck up as Leader of Ukraine and did not predict and did not do diplomacy. If he knew history and stuff what Russia saying from 90s. That will never happen.

Hmm he wants more money or more weapons. Hes doing the American job very well Americans are smart enough to let him steal all Europe pockets And he will No more Europe soon No more Euro currency Only USA will remain You thought zelensky cares about his poor corrupted country

Clown Network

We GOT A TRUMAN SHOW HERE!! Remember when he was a comedian? Then started wearing Olive shirts and khakis. Sewed a patch to the arm and began demanding cash!! How did we get into a war with Russia by way of Zelensky

He will not last long

He broke the balls

I will turn the TV OFF. He appears on my timeline like a nightmare.

All this clout chasing, fight you war, leave us be

Only if he posts them on OnlyFriends

And I want to be the Sec. Gen. Of the UN. 😂😂😂

No thank you we the people are better of listening to this Joker and a puppet. People of Ukraine should enjoy electing a Jew in a Christian country.😏

Definitely 🇱🇻🇺🇦

Actor fulfilling his dreams of acting

Support Ukraine️

Stop it with the Hollywood charade. nomoremoneyforukraine

They should.

StandWithUkraine️

Ukraine should just become a state of whatever country he tries to browbeat into giving military equipment and money. This dude ignored warnings of the invasion and then has the audacity to act like his country is owed aid.

Ukraine wants this , that, and the other . As The Rolling Stones song goes ‘you can’t always get what you want ‘ but if you try sometime then you get what you need . 🤔 .

What, the US taxpayer's money not nearly enough?

Putin only crawls in the shadows. Zelenskiy is willing to face the world and accept what comes.

Not interested.

How great would it be if he dropped his pants and just said “These are my balls. You wanted to know how big, this is how big!” Then proceeds to teabag a pic of Pootin

PolitiFact - Despite Putin’s claim, Russia has lost plenty in Ukraine invasionRussian President Vladimir Putin said in a speech his country had lost nothing by invading Ukraine in February. The country has lost thousands of lives, military equipment and brainpower. It is also mired in an economic struggle. Sounds like us too….different reasons maybe but same problems He has lost nothing personally. Dictators tend to conflate their personal interests with that of their countries.
