We thank the President of the General Assembly for convening today’s event. We are grateful to the previous and current Chairs of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), Bangladesh and Croatia, for their
comprehensive briefings (see A/77/PV.92) and energetic work in guiding its work.
We would like to …
We thank Special Envoy Pedersen and Director of Coordination at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Mr. Rajasingham, for their reports on the political and humanitarian aspects of the situation in Syria.
Today the situation on the ground in our friendly co…
We thank you, Madam President, for inviting the briefer we proposed and for your rational approach to the number of delegations that were allowed to participate in today’s meeting under rule 37.
We listened carefully to our colleagues’ statements and are once again struck by the degree of cynicism …
Before I begin my statement, I would like to express my surprise and disappointment. I do not recall the President of the General Assembly making such a politically biased statement at the beginning of our meeting last year (see A/76/PV.95). I also regret that the President has decided to sacrifice …
We welcomed the Secretary-General’s participation in today’s meeting, and listened very closely to his statement. We also thank the briefers for their interesting observations.
The Russian Federation attaches great importance to the development of advanced technology that is designed to serve the c…
Today’s meeting represents yet another attempt by our Western colleagues to impose their conception of the situation in Ukraine on the rest of us. It would be difficult to view the agenda item that we have been formally convened today to discuss in any other way. It is obvious that the situation on …
Since in addition to you, Mr. President, there are many other high-ranking accomplices of the terrorist regime in Kyiv in this Chamber today who bear full responsibility for its crimes, I would first of all like to consider where their actions in the context of the Ukrainian crisis have led us all.
…
Before you proceed with the meeting, Mr. President, I would like to express our principled disagreement with the presidency’s approach to inviting delegations to participate in this meeting under rule 37. In violation of existing practice, the British presidency has unilaterally decided to give the …
We are delighted to see you, Mr. President, in the President’s chair at the Security Council.
The Russian Federation condemns sexual violence in all its forms, as it does all other crimes committed in conflict and in post-conflict settings. Those acts should be investigated and the perpetrators sho…
We would like to raise a point of order regarding the participation in this meeting of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict.
As we all remember, Ms.Patten said that Russian soldiers had been — allegedly — given Viagra to rape Ukrainian women. Then a rec…
We have listened to the briefing by Mr. Khaled Khiari. We note again that neither in today’s briefing nor yesterday’s statement by the Secretary- General was there any mention of a number of factors that have a direct impact on the situation around the Korean peninsula.
Russia has consistently oppo…
What the Security Council just heard from the so-called Prosecutor of the so-called International Criminal Court (ICC) was not a briefing. The briefings of the officials of this politicized entity to the Council have long since turned into a theatre of the absurd.
This entity, which is an obedient …
We welcome the participation of Álvaro Leyva Durán, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Colombia, in today’s meeting. We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Colombia and Head of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia for his assessments. We also listened to the civ…
I asked for the floor not in order to enter into polemics with my French colleague as regards the assistance to Syria that he says Russia is not providing, nor to recall the Brussels Conference, to which Syrians are not invited and where aid is collected for people who are outside Syria, without giv…
Because we spoke at the very beginning, I will allow myself a few comments. First of all, I would like to ask the representative of the United States to clarify something. If I remember correctly, he said that the States affected have a right to participate in this investigation and should do so. Do…
Today we are once again being obliged to witness yet another act being played out by Western countries in the show entitled the cross-border mechanism for providing humanitarian assistance to Syria. Its main distinguishing characteristics are a complete disregard for the interests of the Syrian peop…
We thank the independent American journalists Bryce Greene and Jeffrey Brodsky for their briefings, in which they presented the Security Council with objective facts surrounding the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea in September 2022. They confirm our version of events, whi…
We regret that today the members of the Security Council must once again waste their time discussing the Syrian chemical dossier, although there have been no new developments over the past two months requiring the attention of the Security Council. Damascus, despite all the difficulties, continues t…
We thank the Special Envoy of the Secretary- General for Yemen, Mr. Hans Grundberg, and Assistant Secretary-General Joyce Msuya for their briefings on the political and humanitarian situation in Yemen. We also listened carefully to the Resident Coordinator for Yemen, Mr. David Gressly.
The situatio…
The Russian Federation was at the forefront of the negotiation process that led to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — a unique achievement in multilateral diplomacy. We are extremely concerned about its future. We regret that, at this critical juncture for the fate of the Plan, the Uni…
