Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky laid out five conditions for peace with Russia, adding they are non-negotiable.
Addressing to United Nations meeting, Zelensky said these conditions include punishment for Russia, restoration of Ukraine's security and territorial integrity, and security guarantees.
He also called for a special tribunal on Russia and a compensation fund, adding that the UN should strip Russia of its veto power.
"Ukrainian neutrality is out of the question," Zelensky said, ruling out also that a settlement can happen on a different basis than the Ukrainian peace formula.
"Russia wants to spend the winter in the territories of occupied Ukraine to prepare for new offensives," Zelensky warned.
Many delegations gave Zelenskiy a standing ovation after his speech. The Russian delegation remained seated.
