Taking his visit to X (formerly known as Twitter), Zelensky said, “Olena Zelenska and I arrived in the United States for the high-level week of the UN General Assembly and a visit to Washington DC.”

“I will attend the General Assembly, Sustainable Development Goals Summit, and Security Council meetings at the UN, as well as a number of important bilateral talks,” he said.

The Ukrainian president is expected to make a speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.

“Ukraine will put out a concrete proposal to UN member states on how to fortify the principle of territorial integrity and improve the UN’s capacity to thwart and halt aggression,” he said.

Further, he said that he would begin in the US by visiting Ukrainian soldiers ‘undergoing treatment and rehabilitation’ in the country.
