Today’s discussion of the situation in…
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 …
We are meeting today because the reasons that have compelled us to request this meeting have not gone away. Despite the fact that there are no Russian heavy weapons located at or firing from the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, shelling by the Ukrainian armed forces of both the plant and Enerhodar …
We thank Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo for her briefing. In the context of that briefing, I would like to point out that we heard her say that the electricity of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant belongs to Ukraine.

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 …

I would like to thank the Albanian presidency for having chosen this very pertinent topic for today’s meeting. Unfortunately, Ms. Tsybulska, one of our briefers, spoke about sexual violence, repeating what Lyudmyla Denisova, the Ukrainian Ombudsperson, said. The desire of Ukrainian propagandists to …
Every year, the Security Council discusses issues relating to cooperation between the United Nations and the European Union (EU). We have always welcomed that, being mindful of all the efforts that the EU undertakes as a critical regional stakeholder. However, with every passing year, serious questi…
We would like to welcome you, Madam Minister, as you preside over this meeting on the very relevant and important topic of women, peace and security. We thank the Secretary-General for his
assessments, and we have listened with interest to the briefings by today’s briefers.

We thank the briefers for the information they provided.
