(MENAFN- UkrinForm) He made this statement in his address at a high-level Security Council meeting on Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"China is also represented here [at the UN Security Council]. A powerful nation on which Russia now depends completely. If China truly wanted this war to stop, it could compel Moscow to end the invasion. Without China, Putin's Russia is nothing. Yet too often, China stays silent and distant instead of acting for peace," Zelensky said.

He noted that there are also other states in the Security Council whose goal is to bring the war to an end.

"The United States of America is present here as well – a strong nation that supports our defense. And we've said 'yes' to every proposal from the U.S. President for a ceasefire and talks with Russia to bring peace – but Russia always says 'no' or tries to confuse everyone so that even a ceasefire can't happen," Zelensky said.

Zelensky is in New York taking part in the high-level events of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.
