Zelensky says Putin wants to turn Ukrainian people into 'silent slaves' as he compares Russia to ISIS

Volodymyr Zelensky said Vladimir Putin is trying to turn Ukraine into a country of "silent slaves" as he urged the UN Security Council to oust Russia from the key international body.

In a historic address to the UN Security Council, the Ukrainian President described the death and destruction left behind in the "recently liberated" city of Bucha, where he said Russia troops had "pulled out" people's tongues, raped women in front of their children and dumped bodies in drains.

Comparing Putin's troops to the terrorist group ISIS, he said there was “not a single crime that they would not commit” and called on the UN to block Russia from undermining the Security Council.
