Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy addresses the UN General Assembly in New York via video link from his country's capital Kyiv.
Ukraine War: President Zelenskyy says ‘We didn’t provoke this war’ in UN General Assembly address

No UKR did not provoke it. They were just the bait provided by NATOmanics.
If you need to repeat it so much then it is a lie.
Iraq didn’t provoke Bush chimp to launch a foolish war to nation build either.
Nobody cares.
Go to Truth Social, or Gettr. Right wing alternatives to twit. Know how many conversations are about Ukraine?
None.
Zero.
Zip.
Stop poluting this board with pro-Biden, pro-globalista crap. Enough already with your dozen “Yay Ukraine!” articles each day.
I hope that shiitehole country disappears off the face of the earth, and takes Vindman with it.
So its entirely Ukraine's and NATO's fault standing up to Russia's interventions and not rolling over and taking all the blame. See?
That’s a lie. Something Ukrainians are good at.
No, according to the Putinists and pro-Russia trolls, as with some anti-war folks, Russia did not have to defend itself. Direct Russian involvement came when the 4 regions in Ukraine, after 8-years of being shelled, etc. by the neo-Yatzi Regime in Kyiv, asked Russia to intervene.
Amen.
This should be the last place on Earth that Clinton-Soros propaganda is published uncritically.
Anyone who doesn’t know the Clinton-Soros nexus to Ukraine is unqualified to comment. Anyone who does, doesn’t want to be associated with the criminal regime they emplaced and would never OK a single dime spent on it.
14000 Ukrainian citizens died by Ukrainian hands before Russia invaded.
Zelensky’s hands are not clean, they are covered in blood.
Zelensky, the comic actor, is nothing more than an easily controlled puppet, same as Senile Joe Biden.
The Ukes killed over 14,000 Russian speaking people in the Donbass. They threatened to join NATO. Not provoking?
Ukraine was invaded. Period.
Correcto!
So? So was Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Egypt. Happens all the time.
Let’s see Daily and spot reports from the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine
created by Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe - Wikipedia
. In these reports they use terms “Armed Forces of Ukraine” and for those who fight them they use “armed formations”.
for 3 July 2020 it is written there Spot Report 36/2020: Members of the armed formations continued to deny SMM patrols passage at checkpoints in Donetsk and Luhansk regions
for 1 July 2020 it is written there Spot Report 35/2020: SMM cameras damaged at the Oktiabr mine near non-government-controlled Vesele
for 27 June 2020 OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) Daily Report 152/2020 issued on 27 June 2020
it is written there “It recorded weapons in violation of the withdrawal lines in non-government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions”
for 25 June 2020 OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) Daily Report 150/2020 issued on 25 June 2020
it is written there “it observed military-style parades in non-government-controlled Donetsk and Luhansk cities, including with weapons in violation of the withdrawal lines”
======== Net net — the DPR and LPR violated the Minsk agreements.
The Minsk agreement, signed by Russia, states that all foreign mercenaries (including all russians) need to leave the combat zone. Russia did not do this.
The DPR representative, who signed the Minsk protocol, almost immediately afterwards declared that they would retake lost territory to Ukraine with “heavy battles”. This is against the Minsk Protocol.
Both LPR and DPR representatives said that they won’t adhere to the Minsk Agreements anymore after they won some battles that already violated the agreements.
Russia said that Ukraine needed to pass an amnesty bill for the fighters in DPR and LPR, something that was never discussed in the Minsk Agreements.
Literally everyone violated the Minsk Agreements, but by far the most violations came from DPR, LPR, pro-russian forces in Ukraine, and Russia itself. Russia even officially withdrew from the Minsk Agreements in 2016 despite signing them.
So tell me:
WHY DIDN’T RUSSIA FOLLOW THE MINSK AGREEMENTS?
I would suggest you research this - it's a false statement by Kremlin and let me elaborate below. Research it for yourself and verify what I've said please
1. 2008 - at the 2008 Bucharest summit of NATO - one of the agenda items was NATO Action Plan membership (Georgia and Ukraine) (4 April). --
Russian President Vladimir Putin was invited to the summit, and he arrived on the second day (3 April) to participate in bilateral NATO–Russia talks. He opposed the US plans to deploy missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic, which was discussed at the summit. Russia also opposed Georgia and Ukraine's NATO membership bids -- archived articleand German Minister of Foreign affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier talked about Ukraine and Georgia and tried not to provoke Russia by doing so, as they are both on Russia's borders and are both former Soviet states
The Alliance did not offer a Membership Action Plan to Georgia or Ukraine, largely due to the opposition of Germany and France
Russian President Putin was pleased about the alliance deciding not to invite Georgia and Ukraine to the Membership Action Plan
4 months later, after Georgia's request to join NATO was REJECTED by Germany and France (to not "provoke" Russia), Putin invaded Georgia
2014 - Yanuvoych had promised to fight corruption and get closer to the West and that's what the majority of his people wanted. He canceled this and in a secret meeting moved to bring it closer to Moscow. This led to protests. The protests were violently put down by Yanuvokych's militia. The net result was that ordinary people joined the protests and Yanukowych ran to Russia with pots of money
Russia then invades - remember Ukraine's request to join NATO was rejected 6 years earlier
2021 - Again Germany and France reject Ukraine being on a membership "potential" list as it would "provoke" Russia
Putin invaded Georgia and he invaded Ukraine when he was sure that they would not be even associates of NATO.
the message is clear "if you are a neighbor of Russia and not a member of NATO, you are going to be invaded by Russia"
nope, it’s to contradict the lie that you guys get from the Kremlin.
