Before I begin, I would like to express once again my objection to your decision, Mr. President, to allow three member States of the European Union to participate in today’s meeting under rule 37. We have repeatedly noted that statements of the European Union reflecting the general position of its m…
We listened carefully to the briefings of Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean- Pierre Lacroix, President and Chief Executive Officer of International Crisis Group Comfort Ero, and President and Chief Executive Officer of the International Peace Institute Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein. We would…
I would like to once again note that the Russian Federation will vote against the proposal for separate votes, and we call on all sponsors of draft resolution A/78/L.108, as well as all other delegations concerned about the issue of multilingualism at the United Nations, to also vote against a separ…
At the outset, allow me to thank the Secretary- General for his report on multilingualism (A/78/790). I would also like to thank the co-facilitators, Andorra and Guatemala, for their leadership of the negotiation process. This year, the Russian Federation was among the sponsors of draft resolution A…
We request that it be taken into account that our statement today regarding draft decision A/78/L.112 also applies to decision 78/528 D. We would also like to inform the General Assembly for the record that Russia joined the consensus on that decision, but it does not support the participation of th…
The Russian Federation joined the consensus on resolution 78/327. We would like to emphasize that water resources are an issue on which we need to cooperate under the auspices of the United Nations necessary, in as constructive and inclusive a manner as possible.
We asked for the floor to thank the…
We would like to make an explanation of position before draft decision A/78/L.112 is adopted.
We regret and are concerned about the wording that was included in the text of the modalities resolution for this meeting (resolution 78/319). The phrase “for a final decision by the Assembly on participat…
We would like to thank the Deputy to the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Mr. Adedeji Ebo, for his briefing.
The 131st monthly report of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Technical Secretariat (S/2024/632, annex), entitled “Progress in the elimination of th…
I would like to thank my American colleague for the clarification and ask whether his words mean that he supports the Council’s collective efforts to ensure the implementation of resolutions that it has already adopted, including resolution 2735 (2024), by using all the tools that it has at its disp…
I would like to assure our American colleague that we will certainly withdraw our troops from Ukraine after we have achieved all the goals of our special military operation. We have said repeatedly that we would prefer to resolve the conflict by peaceful diplomatic means. Unfortunately, in the curre…
Before I begin my statement, I would like to join my colleagues, Mr. President, in wishing you every success in your presidency of the Security Council this month. You can count on our full support. I would also like to pay tribute to our colleagues from Sierra Leone for their very successful presid…
We regret the fact that some of the delegations that took the floor today decided to use the platform of the General Assembly to promote anti-Russian rhetoric instead of having a constructive discussion. We categorically reject attempts to use our country’s decision regarding the ratification of the…
Since our American colleague keeps posing the question about who is threatening world peace and decides to accuse various States, I would just like to counsel him to look more often in the mirror he most likely has at home, and then he will get a clear answer to his question.
We listened carefully to the information provided by Mr. Ebo.
The day before yesterday, Western delegations gathered the members of the Security Council together in the Chamber for their ritual monthly briefing on
Ukraine (see S/PV.9714). However, apart from simply ticking a box, their aim in doin…
Perhaps the representative of the United Kingdom would like to explain in which way a whole herd of European Union countries’ interests are specifically affected when they are usually invited to participate under rule 37 in the meetings requested by the West. The interests of Mali are directly affec…
I would like to tell my distinguished American colleague to keep his recommendations to me and my Government to himself and finally do what the United States should be doing, namely not interfering with the Security Council’s efforts to resolve the Israeli- Palestinian issue.
Everyone in the Chambe…
I have to respond to my United States colleague’s nervous breakdown.
We are of course accustomed to the United States always trying to lay the blame on others. I would, however, like him to provide us with details about the basis for his assertion that the Russian Federation has done nothing to pre…
We note the initiative by our British and Swiss colleagues in the Security Council to convene today’s meeting in order to discuss the security conditions
deteriorating by the day for United Nations personnel working in Gaza. We thank the representatives of the Office for the Coordination of Humanit…
The Russian Federation voted in favour of France’s resolution on renewing the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) for one year without any amendments (resolution 2749 (2024). We value the French penholder’s efforts to strike a balance between members of the Council and th…
In the middle of August, United Nations accredited reporters began asking us why Western members of the Security Council were in no hurry to convene a meeting on the situation in Ukraine this
month. Could it be, they asked, that the United States and its allies decided to give up on their practice …
