After listening to that passionate statement by our Albanian colleague regarding the presence of Serbia during meetings under resolution 1244 (1999), I wish to state that we have nothing against that. However, I would like to ask him a question, and perhaps he will venture to respond to it here in t…
We deplore the fact that a number of delegations today voted against our proposed briefer. We see it as a display of egregious hypocrisy and double standards when representatives of Donbas, which for nine years has suffered thanks to the war unleashed on it by Kyiv, are denied the right to address t…
We insist on the participation of the briefer we have proposed to invite to today’s meeting. Our delegation introduced the proposal to invite Ms. Daria Morozova based on the sole consideration of giving the Security Council an opportunity to receive first- hand information about the catastrophic hum…
We thank Mr. Alexandre Zouev, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions in the Department of Peace Operations, as well as Mr. Bankole Adeoye, African Union Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, for their informative briefings. We also welcome the partici…
Today the Russian Federation voted in favour of resolutions 2678 (2023) and 2679 (2023), on Afghanistan.
We are pleased that the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), as set out in resolution 2626 (2022), was extended by 12 months in a timely and technical way. We…
We are grateful to the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen, Mr. Hans Grundberg, and the Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian

The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on resolution 2677 (2023), on extending the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), proposed by the United States.
We support the work of UNMISS in that African State, which makes a significant contribution to stabilizing the sit…
I am not going to engage in a dispute with Professor Snyder.
That is because, first, he did not respond to the questions that I asked. He simply gave another briefing. By the way, I want to let Professor Snyder know that I have read Serhii Plokhy’s books. But once the record of our meeting is ready…
I would like to make a few brief comments with regard to what we heard today.
Some of our colleagues made an energetic but unconvincing attempt to cite examples of hate speech about Ukraine and Ukrainians in the Russian media. The emotional statements of some of our political scientists are, first,…
We thank Kirill Vyshinsky and Dmitry Vasilets for their briefings. Each of them has a bitter personal experience of encountering Russophobia in Ukraine. They have seen with their own eyes and from the inside how that State was transformed into a Russophobic anti-Russia.
I would like to hear Mr. Sny…
We take this opportunity to congratulate all the women present in this Chamber, as well as the women of Afghanistan, on International Women’s Day.
We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), Ms. Roza Otunbaye…
The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on the resolution prepared by the United States on the sanctions regime in relation to the Sudan (resolution 2676 (2023)). We continue to believe that the Sudan sanctions regime no longer reflects the actual situation in Darfur. Moreover, it hinders the…

We thank our briefers: Ms. Sima Sami Bahous, Executive Director of UN-Women; Ms. Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross; Ms. Bineta Diop, Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security of the Chairperson of th…
First of all, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on the start of Mozambique’s presidency of the Security Council and wish your delegation every success. I would also like to thank Malta for leading the Council’s work in February.
We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary- G…
We thank the Special Envoy of the Secretary- General for Syria, Mr. Geir Pedersen, and the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Mr. Martin Griffiths, for their briefings on the political
and humanitarian aspects of the situation in Syria. We also listened carefully to the remarks by to…
We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Libya and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Mr. Abdoulaye Bathily, for his briefing. We listened attentively to his new proposals and will analyse them with great care.
We are paying very close attention to…
We thank the facilitators of the negotiations on the modalities resolution on the high-level meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (resolution 77/275), the Permanent Representatives of Israel and Morocco, for their efforts to find mutually acceptable compromises and solutions in …
Today is the end of a difficult week for the United Nations. It will be remembered by everyone for the information hype created by Ukraine and its Western sponsors on the anniversary of Russia’s launch of a special military operation in Ukraine. It would seem that this is exactly what Mr. Kuleba pro…
We are on our feet to honour the memory of all the victims of what has happened in Ukraine, starting in 2014 — all of those who perished. All lives are priceless, and that is why we are standing, to honour the memory of them all.
