President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking on Tuesday via video link at a meeting of the UN Security Council, said that this organization cannot effectively ensure peace.

Citing numerous facts proving Russia's involvement in the mass death of citizens and the destruction of cities in Ukraine, Zelensky asked the question "Where is peace that the UN was created to guarantee?"

"Obviously, the key peace institution, which should ensure that any aggressors are forced into peace, simply cannot work effectively," Zelensky said.

"The world saw what the Russian military did in Bucha while they kept the city in occupation. The world has yet to see what they did in other occupied places and regions. The geography is different, but the cruelty is the same and accountability must be inevitable," the president said.
