On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Russian propagandists shouted a provocative question at President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about visiting Moscow. His sharp response was caught on video, Clash Report reported.
Russian journalists on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly shouted a question at Zelenskyy, asking when he planned to travel to Moscow.
"On a rocket, f***," the president replied.
The Kremlin has repeatedly stated that a meeting between the Ukrainian president and Russian leader Vladimir Putin is possible only in Moscow, previously rejecting any alternative venues for talks.

The same day, Zelenskyy said that Putin wants to seize Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro and other Ukrainian cities. According to him, war and instability are spreading around the world because of the Russian leader.
The president previously also said that normal life and the principles of international law cannot be restored without returning annexed Crimea to Ukrainian control. Russia began demonstrating its disregard for the international order with its occupation of the peninsula in 2014.
Ukrainian forces continue to hold back the enemy and drive Russian troops out of Ukrainian territory. Since the beginning of 2026, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have managed to liberate 800 square kilometers of territory, while the Russian army has captured 890 square kilometers over the same period.
According to Zelenskyy, the Russian forces' total net advance amounts to just 90–100 square kilometers, several times less than in previous years, as the situation on the battlefield for the Russian army has effectively stalled.
In addition, the president delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly, where he said Ukrainians understand that this winter could be very difficult and called for Putin's war to be stopped.
