"There are still those among you who turn a blind eye to illegal annexations," Zelenskyy said at the Arab League Summit

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke at the Arab League Summit and called on their leaders to support Ukraine and not "turn a blind eye to illegal annexations" - the broadcast of the speech.

"We do not have missiles as our enemy has. We have less air power, we do not possess numerous killer drones that Iran supplies to Russia. We do not have that much artillery, but we do stay strong because we do have truth on our side," Zelenskyy said.

The President of Ukraine called for help in protecting Ukrainians, including the Ukrainian Muslim community. The leader of the Crimean Tatar people, Mustafa Dzhemilev, arrived in Saudi Arabia with Zelenskyy.

"Crimea was the first to suffer from the Russian occupation, and most of those who are subjected to repressions in the occupied Crimea are Muslims," the President stressed. 

He also called on Arab leaders to join the Ukrainian peace formula and help return all political prisoners from the occupied territories.

"Russia is weak; we beat it even when it has more weapons in their hands. Its aggressiveness does not come from strength, but from the understanding that the time of empire has passed, that's because the time of free independent nations will never end," Volodymyr Zelenskyy added. 

On May 19, the President of Ukraine arrived in Saudi Arabia for the Arab League Summit.
