Zelenskyy Says In UNGA Video Address Neutrality Not Part Of Peace Formula Proposed By Kiev

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his pre-recorded address to the UN General Assembly that Ukraine's neutral status is not a part of the peace formula proposed by Kiev when the ongoing conflict with Russia is over.

"What is not in our (peace) formula? Neutrality. Those who speak of neutrality, when human values and peace are under attack, mean something else," Zelenskyy said on Wednesday.

Zelenskyy explained the Ukraine peace formula includes five items: punishment for the aggressor; protection of life in by all available means; restoring Ukraine's security and territorial integrity; security guarantees; and a determination by Kiev to fight and by its partners to help.

Kiev has proposals to upgrade the security architecture of Ukraine, Europe and the world that is expected to preclude any aggression against the country, Zelenskyy said.
