I value your irony, Mr. President, but just to get things straight, the representative of Gazprom — whose participation in this meeting we facilitated — obviously requested the floor through us because he has a means of communication through us, and not because the Russian State is the major shareho…
Before we thank you, Mr. President, for the French presidency of the Security Council during the month of September, we would like to point out that during the meeting we were informed that one of our briefers, the representative of Gazprom, wanted to make a brief comment at the end of the meeting, …
I am grateful to my United States colleague for his direct response to a direct question, which was whether he could confirm right now, in this Chamber, whether or not his country was involved in this act of sabotage. My American colleague’s response was to declare, in this Chamber, that the United …
We thank the representatives of the United Nations Secretariat and Gazprom for their briefings. We also thank Mr. Eyl-Mazzega. I will not comment on his interesting but at times not always objective briefing on what is happening on the gas market. We have a representative of Gazprom in the Chamber w…
We are forced to note that some of our colleagues in the Security Council have reached a new low. Even the few vestiges of decorum that, it seemed to us, remained in this Chamber have been violated. I do not know of any other examples of the Security Council adopting a draft resolution that directly…
I will be very brief.
I would simply like to draw members’ attention to the fact that what we have just heard from the representative of Albania confirms the double standards that I referred to with regard to Kosovo. I gave an example as to how our Western colleagues dealt with Kosovo and are now c…
Referendums on accession to the Russian Federation were held in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, as well as in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. The official results will be announced over the next few days. This is a long-awaited event for the people of Donbas. It should bring peace …
Once again, we would like to make clear our position regarding yet another attempt by our Western colleagues to push through the participation of the President of Ukraine, Mr. Zelenskyy, in today’s meeting via video-teleconference. We have repeatedly underscored that, in and of itself, we are not ag…
We thank Assistant Secretary-General Miroslav Jenča for his briefing.
The Russian Federation is extremely concerned about the sharp escalation of the situation in certain areas on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border that took place on the night of 12 and 13 September and the subsequent exchanges of fire.…
We note the timely topic of today’s meeting, and we thank Mr. Martin Griffiths, Mr. Maximo Torero and Mr. David Beasley for their opinions and assessments.
The situation of civilians as a result of worsening food security against the backdrop of numerous armed conflicts throughout the world continu…
We would like to thank Deputy Special Envoy Najat Rochdi and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths for their briefings on the political and humanitarian situations in Syria.
We see no alternative for making progress on the situation in Syria other than through a Syrian-o…
Today our Western colleagues did not address the topic at hand, as the facts prove that they did not merely indirectly but also directly participated in this proxy war. That is why they use their favourite tactic of shifting the focus from the topic of the meeting onto an activity with which we are …
At the outset, allow me to express to my heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of the United Kingdom following the passing away of their monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
We thank Mrs. Nakamitsu and Ms. Trifković for their briefings. Unfortunately, we could not hear part of Ms. …
We took note of the information provided by Rosemary DiCarlo and Ilze Brands Kehris. We also listened to yet more fabrications delivered by Oleksandra Drik, a well-known propagandist and former adviser to the Ukrainian Minister of Defence.
Today’s meeting, which was convened at the request of the U…
We thank Under-Secretary-General Lacroix for his informative briefing.
For decades, peacekeeping has been the backbone of the work of the United Nations in maintaining peace and security and has had a direct impact on the lives of millions of people. There are intense hopes placed on peacekeeping o…
We thank Secretary-General Guterres and the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mr. Rafael Grossi, for their briefings.
We commend Mr. Grossi on his decision to carry out the Agency’s mission at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which constitutes a responsible and…
We thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo and Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj, Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), concerning Libya, for their briefings.
We are extremely concerned about the latest developments in Libya. The protracted tangle of disagreements between the…
Somewhere in the lengthy arguments of our United States colleagues, we heard a call for Russia and China to reach for their wallets and pay for the reconstruction of Afghanistan. They say that the United States and its allies alone are paying for everything, while Russia and China are only whipping …
We thank Mr. Geir Pedersen and Ms. Joyce Msuya for their overview of the political and humanitarian situation in Syria.
We are convinced that long-term stability and security on Syrian soil can be established only through the full restoration of the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial …
