Zelensky criticizes U.N. inaction on Russian invasion

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the U.N. Security Council for its inaction on Russia's invasion of Ukraine during a speech at the United Nations. Zelensky called for countries that violate U.N. principles and invade other nations to be suspended from their Security Council seats. He also proposed broadening Security Council representation and suspending Russia's veto power. Zelensky's visit to the U.N. coincided with crucial conversations in Washington, where he sought support for Ukraine's war effort. The Russian delegation, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, did not attend Zelensky's speech.
