Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the world's leaders Wednesday to keep choking Russia's revenues and impede its war efforts, telling the UN General Assembly that "Russia's revenues must remain a target."

"When someone gives Russia more money through trade, they give this war more time. And that is exactly why we insist on limiting trade with the aggressor, and why we are burning Russia's revenues ourselves," he said, speaking in English at the UN General Assembly.
