Because this is my first statement after the terrible events in Paris, I would like to express the position of my delegation.
(spoke in French)
My delegation is deeply shocked by the terrorist attacks in Paris. We express our profound and sincere condolences to the French people. It is our shared …
I take this opportunity to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of June.

It is with great deference that the international community, and especially Ukraine, is commemorating the great victory in the Second World War in these most memorable days.

I would like to make a general observation. Listening to the Russian delegation since last year and here again today, I must repeat what I have been saying since last March. Russia is an arsonist who is trying to play the role of the fire safety inspector. As long as it seek to play such a role, no …
I thank you, Mr. President, for having convened this meeting to discuss the current situation in Ukraine. It is our hope that under your presidency the Ukraine issue will progress further towards a resolution. I thank Mr. Jeffrey Feltman, Mr. Ivan Šimonović and Mr. John Ging for their important and …
I am sorry, Mr. President, but what we have heard from our colleague is unacceptable. Our leaders met in Minsk and they made very clear statements. They supported very clear provisions, and we cannot agree with the interpretation of the Minsk agreements that has been heard from the Russian side. I a…
What has been called the unification of Crimea should really be called occupation and annexation following an aggressive attack. We shall discuss that further.
What was said about humanitarian convoys is a challenge to international law, which defines arrangements for supplies of humanitarian assis…
Let me start with our thanks to you personally, Mr. President, and to the members of the Security Council for today’s strong statement on the situation in Debaltseve. I will speak on that issue later.
We are grateful to the members of the Security Council for their continued support of the Minsk pr…
My country has been mentioned once again. Ukraine has always presented facts and figures, confirmed not only by other national competent authorities, but also by many independent observers and missions of international organizations on the ground. Today, we also have a list of questions on the 16 ba…
Thank you for convening today’s urgent meeting, Mr. President. I would also like to thank Under-Secretary-General Feltman for his briefing, and all those here whose statements supported Ukraine and expressed sympathy with my people.
Unfortunately, since the previous Security Council meeting on Ukra…
I apologise for taking the floor again, but my country has been mentioned several times in the past few minutes. I will make a few comments on the so-called national dialogue on decentralization in Ukraine and the humanitarian situation.
As my colleague said, yesterday morning we sent to all member…
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your effective leadership of the Council for the month of January. Since this is the first time my delegation has taken the floor this year, I would also like to congratulate the new members — Angola, Malaysia, New Zealand…
I too do not want to continue this dialogue because it is going nowhere. I would just remind our Russian colleague, citing one of the most famous Russian writers, Turgenev:
(spoke in Russian)
“There is one truth for everyone. Everyone has their own truth, but there is only one real truth.”
(spoke…
I wish to start by thanking all of the briefers for the information they brought back from the ground.

First of all, let me join previous speakers in thanking you, Madam President, for organizing today’s meeting of the Security Council devoted to the important issue of the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. Ukraine very much appreciates and supports Argentina’s initiati…
When we found out that it was Russia that took the initiative to convene today’s Security Council meeting, we asked ourselves why. Having heard the same old rhetoric from the Russian side today, which denies any involvement in the crime and blames everyone but itself, I cannot help but remember the …
Thank you, Madam President, for the opportunity to participate in the discussion of such an important issue for my country. I would also like to thank Under-Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman and Mr. Frans Timmermans, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, for their briefings.
Two days ago…
