Zelenskyy at UN: keep choking Russia’s revenues and war machine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the UN General Assembly Wednesday that Russia’s revenues must remain a target, citing tens of thousands of drones used this year and urging limits on money and foreign fighters.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used his UN General Assembly address Wednesday to plead with leaders to keep choking Russian revenues and impede Moscow’s war effort, AP coverage in the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
He said Russia had used about 63,000 attack drones of various types against Ukraine so far this year and urged partners to deny Vladimir Putin money and foreign fighters. Russia addresses the assembly later in the week via Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The speech pairs with energy-truce diplomacy and overnight Kyiv drone strikes. Accounts agree on the revenue-targeting message; they diverge on European appetite after some sanctions delistings.

NewsHabit keeps this card anchored to multi-outlet confirmation for the September 23, 2026 edition, flagging where accounts still diverge rather than projecting outcomes the published record does not yet support.
