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…
I have taken the floor to say only that I will not waste my time nor the precious time of the Security Council to reply to the remarks made by my colleague from the United States.
The goal of the group of countries that requested today’s meeting is crystal clear: they are once again trying to use the Security Council to spin anti-Russian and anti-North Korean narratives and disseminate unfounded allegations to divert attention from their own destructive actions, which are fue…
For the record, we would like to register our principled disagreement with the decision of the presidency to invite the representatives of Ukraine and the European Union to this meeting. It is clear that those participants have nothing to do with the regional issue proposed for discussion under the …
We thank the briefers for their contribution to the discussion.
Children are one of the most vulnerable categories of a population during conflict. Twenty-five years have elapsed since the adoption of resolution 1261 (1999), which created the Security Council’s toolkit for preventing and ending vio…
We thank the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Mr. Tor Wennesland, for the detailed briefing on the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River.

We are glad to see you, Mr. President, presiding over the Security Council. We thank the Secretary-General for his briefing. We also listened carefully to the briefers.
Russia was present at the start of discussions of issues of international information security at the United Nations. In 1998, 26 …
At the outset, allow me to put on record our fundamental disagreement — which we have already expressed on numerous occasions — with the invitation to today’s meeting of eight representatives under rules 37 and 39. That number clearly does not correspond to the stated format of the discussion, as i…
We convened today’s meeting because the situation regarding Ukraine is developing into an increasingly dangerous scenario. Western countries are aiming for another round of escalation, which is fraught with catastrophic consequences. To give some context, I would like to start with several quotes fr…
Russia aligns itself with the statement delivered by Mr. Yvan Gil Pinto, Venezuela’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the United Nations, and we support the appeals he made. We would like to add some remarks in our national capacity.
Today…
We are grateful to Mr. Hans Grundberg, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen, and Director Wosornu of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs for their briefings on the political and humanitarian situation in the country.
The situation in and around Yemen is not conducive…
Today our Western colleagues dealt yet another heavy blow to the reputation of the Security Council, which, according to its mandate, bears the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. Yes, any Council member has the right to request a meeting on any issue, but that i…
To begin with a different aspect of the issue, in seeking to justify their attempt to undermine the mandate of the Security Council, our Western colleagues have predictably alleged that Russia has raised in the Security Council the human rights situation in a given area or region. I will come back t…
Today the international community is once again witnessing a shameful situation in which a small group of States is trying to use the Security Council as a tool to promote its own geopolitical agenda. We have never had any illusions about the fact that since all of Pyongyang’s main opponents are mem…
Russia abstained in the voting on the Security Council resolution submitted by the United States endorsing the mediators’ proposal on a ceasefire in Gaza (resolution 2735 (2024)).
From the very beginning of the escalation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, we have consistently and unwaveringly ad…
Russia abstained in the voting on the Security Council resolution renewing, for three years, the mandates of the Monitoring Team on sanctions against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Al-Qaida, as well as the Ombudsperson on delisting (resolution 2734 (2024)).

Before I make my explanation of vote, I would like to raise one issue. Consider it a point of order, and I count that you, Mr. President, will deduct the time allotted to me for my explanation of vote from the remarks I will make now.
Before the voting, you, Mr. President, gave the floor to the “di…
