Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday accused Russia of committing “genocide” by abducting thousands of children from Ukraine, calling during a fiery speech at the United Nations for the world not to tolerate the “evil” undergirding Moscow’s actions.
“When hatred is weaponized against one nation, it never stops there,” Mr. Zelenskyy told world leaders at the annual U.N. General Assembly gathering that opened in Manhattan on Tuesday.
The harsh and at times wandering commentary from Mr. Zelenskyy marked a dramatic high-point of the marathon of speeches from world leaders at the General Assembly on Tuesday afternoon. The counteroffensive is likely to be at the center of discussions later this week, when Mr. Zelenskyy visits Washington. Kyiv has been under mounting pressure in recent months to ease doubts that billions of dollars in American and NATO military and economic aid are being spent wisely.
Asserting that the Kremlin has weaponized everything from oil and gas to Ukrainian grain supplies to the global market, Mr. Zelenskyy pleaded with world leaders to give his embattled nation leverage over Russia in any potential negotiations toward ending the war. Moscow has shown no appetite for the Ukrainian plan, which calls for the removal of all Russian forces from Ukraine and the return of all Ukrainian territory to Kyiv, including the Crimean Peninsula that Russia unilaterally annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's full 2023 60 Minutes interview in UkrainianLanguage translation is more art than science. Different translators have varied opinions of words and their meaning. For last week's interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, we used the services of three independent interpreters of the Ukrainian language. The first translation occurred in the moment, simultaneously, during the interview. Later, a second translator watched the entire interview on video and translated Ukrainian to English verbatim. In the final editing process, a third translator sat with us and verified the edits that are always necessary for clarity and concision. At some points in our story, when phrases in English and Ukrainian did not match each other in length, we made the best effort possible to convey Mr. Zelenskyy's comments with precision and context. As a service to Ukrainian speakers, we are posting the interview in its entirety.
