Allow me to apologize for my American colleague, Madam President, who is trying to spoil your debate. We do not normally exchange remarks in such a format. But of course, I cannot ignore what he said.
It is all the more surprising that those words were uttered by the representative of a State that …
Today’s debate is taking place at a very complex and pivotal moment for the whole world. Quite possibly, not since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 has our planet been as close to global conflict as it is today.

Russia voted in favour of the United States sanctions resolution on Darfur, the Sudan (resolution 2750 (2024).

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.

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…

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 …
