“Putin has stolen much already, but he will never steal the world’s future. I’m sure.” // “We are now preparing for the second summit, moving forward with our partners, step by step, according to the peace formula. And we are working on full security, energy security, and holding Russia accountable for its terror. Next, we will address all other points of the peace formula, including the release of prisoners, the restoration of territorial integrity, and more. And we are preparing a document to present at the second peace summit. I invite all leaders, nations to continue supporting our joint efforts for a just and peaceful future.”

A Russian missile strike on Ukraine’s southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia on Monday (September 23) hit critical infrastructure and injured at least two people after attacks on the city late on Sunday wounded 21, regional authorities said.

Russia denies targeting civilians but thousands have been killed and injured since Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

“The world needs a peaceful future and sustainable development – and I say this as a president of Ukraine, a country resisting Russia’s brutal colonial aggression,” said Zelenskiy.
