There are 15 members of the UN Security Council. 14 support, in some way or another, an immediate ceasefire. Including four permanent members.

Only one state blocks an end to hostilities. And it is the aggressor itself.

Russia vetoes not just a ceasefire. Russia vetoes peace. Putin could have ended this war long ago. But he chooses daily escalation.

This war has to stop. Ukraine wants to end it now — not later. We are ready for a full, unconditional ceasefire. Ready for ceasefires on energy and food. Ready to stop right now, right here.

We were not the ones who started it. We were invaded. We keep on fighting — defending our home.

We must stop this war now. Before Putin enters your home. He is already at the entrance.

This is not a Ukrainian war. Not even a European one. It is a global threat. Preventing the worst scenario depends on everyone in this room, and beyond it.

From my address to the UN Security Council meeting on September 23, 2026.
