A video recording of Zelensky's speech was shown in the General Assembly hall.
“We need defense assistance, military equipment and ammunition.
Long-range offensive weapons are enough to liberate our land, ”RIA Novosti quotes the words of the Ukrainian leader.
He also asked for air defense systems and financial support.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said earlier that the United States would become a party to the conflict if longer-range missiles were supplied to Kyiv.
In this case, the Russian side will have to respond adequately.
