“Putin is patient zero,” President Zelensky told the UN General Assembly in New York, arguing that instability and war are spreading from Russia. He said Putin wants to seize Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro and other Ukrainian cities and must be stopped. Zelensky also said Putin recently told representatives of the US president that he would capture Donetsk region within several months, calling it roughly the 17th or 18th time in five years that Putin had made such a promise.
