Thank You for Standing With Ukraine https://ukrainesupport…

September 23 brought a remarkable series of confrontations in New York as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha challenged Russia directly—while Moscow made equally clear that it has no intention of backing away from its war aims.

Zelenskyy responded to a Russian reporter asking when he would come to Moscow, called Vladimir Putin the “Patient Zero” from whom this war spread, rejected the idea that Ukraine should surrender territory after years of sacrifice, and argued that Putin is paying an enormous price for minimal battlefield gains. Sybiha then confronted Sergei Lavrov with three blunt questions—including why Putin will not meet Zelenskyy, what Russian soldiers are dying for, and how Russia went from promising Kyiv in three days to seeing Moscow attacked years later.

Lavrov said Russia will not pause its military operation during negotiations and expanded Moscow’s stated concerns beyond the occupied Ukrainian territories. Putin separately told Russian troops that voters believe in them and in victory, saying Russia’s stated goals will be achieved. Meanwhile, the United States has invited Putin to the G20 summit in Miami, drawing criticism from Nikki Haley and an immediate expression of gratitude from the Kremlin.

Taken together, these statements reveal just how far apart the positions now are: Ukraine says its independence and territory are not for sale, while Russia continues to signal that it intends to pursue its objectives.
