He highlighted the crucial role of diplomacy in resolving the RussiaUkraine war and warned that "time is running out" to save Ukrainian children "abducted by Russia," alleging they are being taught to despise their homeland.

President Zelenskyy was addressing the plenary session of the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. The event was titled 'Re-Imagining Solutions for Global Peace and Regional Stability."

"It's often said that brutal force should not dominate the world. Similarly, attempts by various power centres to impose something on other nations against their will in politics, economy, or security should not dominate either. Diplomacy should be those caring and strong hands that prevent international disputes from turning into fights, restraining the most aggressive parties," Zelenskyy said in his address on Sunday.

Stressing the need for open and inclusive dialogue, he said the world wants to be united and be capable of acting in "complete harmony."

He further called on the nations to help in the implementation of the Peace Formula and ensure that Russia is not able to "push us off the path to ending the war."
