Ukraine plans to export its tested weapons technology to allies.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the United Nations General Assembly, stating that the world is currently experiencing “the most destructive arms race in history” and urged world powers to take action against Russian President Vladimir Putin's expansionist agenda. He emphasized that stopping Russia's war now is crucial to prevent broader regional conflicts, asserting, "Russia is trying to do Moldova what Iran once did to Lebanon,” highlighting the threat to neighboring nations, according to TRT Global and India Times.

Zelenskyy criticized international institutions, stating, “Nations can speak about their pain from stages like this, but even during bloodshed, there isn't a signal international institution that can truly stop it." He added that "weapons decide who survives," pointing out that Ukraine cannot rely on international law alone for security. He urged that “stopping Russia now is cheaper” than dealing with the consequences of ongoing aggression later, according to LA Times and The Hill.
