Therefore, they keep growing their appetites and their ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zelenskyy also spoke of the importance of international law for smaller states, quoting the words of Singapore\u2019s first prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew: \u201cIf there had been no international law, and the big fish ate the small fish and the small fish ate shrimps, we would not have existed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4362\" height=\"2908\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241233640.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241233640.jpg.jpg 4362w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241233640.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241233640.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241233640.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241233640.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241233640.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4362px) 100vw, 4362px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses participants at the Shangri-La Dialogue summit via a video link on June 11, 2022. (Roslan Rahman\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zelenskyy cited the late leader while accusing the Russian leadership under President Vladimir Putin of striving to dismantle international law by invading Ukraine. The Kremlin seeks to make it \u201cimpossible for a neighboring country, which it regards solely as its colony, to be able to exist freely and independently,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He charged Russians with systematically looting the resources of occupied Ukrainian territory by stripping it of everything from industrial machinery to crops and cars, and he blamed global food insecurity on Russia\u2019s blockade of Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blockade has left Ukraine unable to export its grain harvest, and Zelenskyy warned the world will potentially face an acute food crisis and famine in many Asian and African countries, possibly leading to political chaos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking during an unprecedented address delivered via video link at the Shangri-La Dialogue security forum in Singapore, Ukrainian
