Zelenskiy says world must make global rule of law 'work again'
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference with Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in front of the presidential palace in Kyiv, Ukraine, September 6, 2023.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged world leaders on Wednesday to make a rules-based international order “work again” by standing up to Russian use of force.
“Together we have to make the force that has gone mad comeback to the rules, and make the rules work again,” he told the Summit for Democracy, an initiative of U.S. President Joe Biden aimed at discussing ways to stop democratic backsliding and erosion of rights and freedoms. Kyiv and its Western partners have accused Russia of using false pretexts to wage an unjustified war of colonial conquest in Ukraine.
Biden, a Democrat, has backed military aid to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion. Some members of Congress and former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican candidate in the U.S. presidential election in November, have opposed it.
