Patrick mouratoglou. Back to lucy. Back to lucy. Lets Ta Ke lets take you straight to New York to the Un General Assembly with live pictures coming to us at the moment. You can see delegates arriving. We have been listening to the president of the czech republic, but now taking to the podium is President Zelenskyy of ukraine. Lets listen. Of ukraine. Lets listen. Thank ou of ukraine. Lets listen. Thank you very of ukraine. Lets listen. Thank you very much. Of ukraine. Lets listen. Thank you very much, dear of ukraine. Lets listen. Thank you very much, dear leaders, | you very much, dear leaders, your excellences, i want to tell you about the day that has passed and a day that must never come. On the 9th Of March 2022 202i never come. On the 9th Of March 2022 2021 received one of the most terrifying reports in the beginning of a full scale russian invasion against ukraine. The report was about russian tanks firing directly at the buildings of our ukrainian nuclear Power Plant. The largest one in europe, six nuclear reactors. The Russian Army stormed this facility just as brutally as any other during this war, without thinking about the consequences, possibly disastrous. This was one of the most horrifying moments of the war, when no one could know how russias strikes on the nuclear facility would end and everyone in ukraine was reminded of what chernobyl means. Now the nuclear Power Plant remains occupied by russian forces unfortunately, and it is at risk of a nuclear incident. This is the major source of Radiation Danger in europe, possibly in the world. That is why in the Peace Formula i presented, it is about nuclear safety. In ukraine we know exactly what we are dealing with and i want to thank you, The General Assembly members, for adopting the resolution injuly this year on the safety of nuclear facilities in ukraine. Most in the world understand what is at stake. The general assembly demanded that russian control of the nuclear Power Plant goes back to ukraine, only then will real nuclear Security Return to europe and the world. And now about the day that must never come. Since russia cannot defeat our Peoples Resistance on the battlefield, putin is looking for other ways to break the ukrainian spirit. One of his methods is targeting our energy infrastructure. These are deliberate russian attacks on our Power Plants and the entire energy grid. As of Today Russia has destroyed all our thermal Power Plants and a large part of our hydroelectric capacity. This is how putin is preparing for winter, hoping to torment millions, millions of ukrainians. Ordinary families, women, children, ordinary towns, ordinary villages. Putin wants to leave them in the dark and cold this winter, forcing ukraine to suffer and surrender, just imagine your country with 80 of its Energy System gone, with such a destroyed part of the system. What kind of life would that be . Recently i received yet another alarming report from our intelligence. Now putin does seem to be Planning Attacks on our nuclear Power Plants and infrastructure, aiming to disconnect the plants from the power grid. With the help of other countries. Russia is getting images and detailed information about the infrastructure of our nuclear Power Plants, but what does this really threaten . Any missile or drone strike, any critical incident in the Energy System, could lead to a nuclear disaster. To date like that must never come. Moscow needs to understand this, and this depends in part on your determination to put pressure on the aggressor. These are nuclear Power Plants, they must be safe. Ladies and gentlemen, two years ago in the fall of 2022, i had a comprehensive strategy to end the war and to ensure security and i presented the Peace Formula at a highly inclusive political platform for world readers, the G20 Summit in indonesia, representing billions of citizens from all parts of the globe. And it is important for us that all these people can understand us, understand that ukraine wants to end this war more than anyone in the world. War always poses a threat to many, you will see in the media and read in reports what is happening in ukraine because of russias water. It is something many are imagining happening to themselves and yes, the violence in War Torn Cities can reach other countries. And if god forbid russia causes a nuclear disaster at one of our nuclear disaster at one of our nuclear Power Plants, they will not respect State Borders and various nations could feel the devastating effects. Many are concerned, but the deepest understanding of war is always found in the home are giving heroic soldiers who are giving their lives to defend our country from invaders trying to steal our land. That is why we say, rightfully so, there can be no just peace without ukraine. And i think every leader, every country that supports us in this, that understand us, that sees her russia, a country more than 20 times larger than ukraine in territory, still wants even more land. More land, and is seizing it day by day while wanting to destroy its neighbour. Russia found special bodies for that, North Korea and iran. A telling choice of friends. Now every neighbour of russia in europe and Central Asia feels that the more it could come to them as well and just think, what kind of losses that would mean for the world. I think nearly 100 nations and organisations that have supported the Peace Formula. It is truly a global community, africa, asia, europe, latin america, north america, the Pacific Region are united by the Peace Formula. And i am glad that the summit, everyone was equal, all nations that participated in the peace summit, large and small. No vetoes, no blocking authority, those who have been independent for ages, and those who have only recently gained independence, those that have gone through towards themselves, and those accustomed to peace. All were equal. That is what russia hates the most and cannot control, that is why russia says the Peace Formula doesnt suit it. Here, at the un, i already met with leaders from india, guatemala, japan and italy, turkey and finland, canada, paraguay, slovenia, germany and others, and my meetings will continue. These are different parts of the world and various political waves, but the share the same understanding. Peace is needed and it must be a realjust peace. Unfortunately, at the un it is impossible to truly and fairly resolve matters of War And Peace because too much depends on the security council, on the Veto Power. When the Aggressor Exercises Veto Power, the un is powerless to stop the war. But the Peace Formula can. Once again, there is no Veto Power in it. That is why it is the best opportunity for peace. Everyone is equal and it is effective and comprehensive. When some propose alternatives, half hearted sets of principles, its not only ignores the Interest And Suffering of ukrainians, who are affected by the widely most, its not only ignores reality, also gives putin the political space to continue the war and pressured the world to bring more nations under control. Any parallel or alternative attempts to seek peace are in fact efforts to achieve and allow instead of an end to the war. As a global initiative, the Peace Formula has already existed for two years, and maybe somebody wants a noble price for their political biography instead of real peace, but the only Prizes Britain will give you in return more suffering and disastrous. Putin. We must restart nuclear safety, energy must stop being used as a weapon, we must ensure Food Security and bring home all our captured soldiers and civilians, possibly deported to russia. We must uphold the Un Charter and guarantee our right, to sovereignty, just as we do for
