With regard to the statement by the President of Ukraine, the reason that the Security Council at one point decided not to invite foreign leaders via video- teleconference included avoiding technical difficulties, as we just saw during Mr. Zelenskyy’s statement. It was very difficult to make out any…
We regret that members of the Security Council have spoken out against complying with the rules of the Council. We can understand the logic of Kyiv’s Western backers, who are prepared to sacrifice the entire Ukrainian people to cover up Kyiv’s crimes and the Council’s work, but we are disappointed b…
Our delegation objects to the virtual participation of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in today’s meeting. We would like to explain our objection in detail.
We are not opposing the participation of the President of Ukraine or his representative in the meeting. I repeat again for the …

I do not plan to engage in a polemic with a representative of the Kyiv regime and react to the stream of conscience and lies that he shared with us today.
On the subject of the mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which was interrupted by Kyiv, I would suggest that Council members loo…
Today, once again, none of our Western colleagues decided to call a spade a spade by recognizing that it is the armed forces of Ukraine that are recklessly shelling the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. From what has been said, it would seem that Russia alone has created risks there. So then what is…
We thank Director General Grossi for his briefing.
We have repeatedly warned our Western colleagues that, if they do not talk sense into the Kyiv regime, it will take the most monstrous and reckless steps, the consequences of which will backfire far beyond Ukraine’s borders. Unfortunately, that is …

The Russian Federation supported the resolution prepared by the United Kingdom on extending the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) (resolution 2647 (2022)).
