Wednesday the 21st, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine made a statement to the world leaders in the U.N. General Assembly. He believes Russia deserves “just punishment” for crimes against his country.

Zelensky is thinking of every possibility to stop Russia in this war, so Ukraine can get peace. As a matter of fact he suggested Russia should be deprived of its veto power in the U.N. Security Council.

Throughout Zelensky’s speech he addressed that several countries have tried to avoid antagonizing Russia. According to him, they act only to protect their “vested interests,” (but he did so without naming names.) Towards the end of the speech Zelensky brought up the topic peace talks. He addressed the problem of how Putin keeps saying Russia is ready to talk, but then announce military mobilization. He said that Ukraine, in contrast, was not just ready for talks, but for “true, honest fair peace” and to that he added, “That’s why the world is on our side.”

This NYT article is very good in my opinion. To me the topic is interesting, well written, and the perfect length. The article enlightens the reader in a manageable way. This is done by the reader gets the information needed to understand the situation and it is not so long that the reader wants to stop reading halfway through. It seems to me the article also follows the inverted pyramid as things get a little more detailed and “unnecessary” towards the end. By this I mean it is not the most important part of the article in the end, but as already mentioned I still think it was a good length with a lot of good information.
