6:22 am
the russian federation has turned us back on the misc agreements. and the puff of dialogue required to address any concerns that we have over the implementation of the agreements and related security concerns. we have already report this morning, the statement that you reach out to the president of the russian federation that his country was always open to diplomacy. we edge that, that avowed commitment to diplomacy that the restaurant federation has alluded to, should be back by present actually is that deescalate distribution on the ground and permit an atmosphere for dialogue. we know to have concerned the risk that an escalation of the situation ukraine hold for global peace and security as dr. that know that to the part of conflict rather than piece by the consequences of the actions. we are concerned by reports of the commencement of hybrid warfare against
6:23 am
ukraine, especially on tens vice of cyber attacks against some of this critical infrastructure . to deescalate it's good situation where the russian federation to court reconsider any intention to move troops in today's the origins of ukraine. in response to the purported request by the needs of the separatist regions. for an innovation peacekeeping, by its nature requires the consent of the parties and the impartiality of the peacekeeping. force the president of the russian troops in east ukraine at this time would not fulfil those requirements. if there is a real need, the council should receive of the matter. we edge for com and call upon all parties to maintain the ceasefire needs to ukraine. we are particularly concerned by the high intensity of violations of the cease fire, re sundays, and its consequences on the signal populations. in the dawn bus region. remind all
6:24 am
parties of the need to respect international law intern. i sent you my journal and add the parties to guarantee unimpeded access, william and the 200 systems in both government and non government controlled areas . we condemn any military activity that will deliberately target civilians and civil down infrastructure. i remind all parties of the past notice one believe that exists in international law is the president. it may be begging the question. but nonetheless, worth repeating. ganna our reserve, or at least stands by the sovereignty enter and secretary of ukraine. a bona feet, a member of the united nations whose membership of this organization proviso had guarantees of an internationally recognized board is the same board as of which she joined this organization. we are very about the current developments and they see regions of ukraine would not be just try that again for any party. and encourage are forced to address both immediate and long term interest to diplomacy and

6:26 am
and under secretary general rosemary decarlo full hub briefing in this grave moment, kenya continues to call for respect for the sovereignty territorial integrity and political independence of ukraine. in line with the core tenants of the united nations charter kenya is deeply concerned by the rapid escalation of the conflict risks following the recognition of the nets and hans as independent states by the russian federation and the continued military escalation. we are concerned that there is a serious risk that a conflict enveloping the whole of the don bus region will occur. present trends holding such a development would instantly lead to significant loss of life, a humanitarian crisis, and a large scale population movement of refugees and internally displaced people.
6:27 am
kenya urgently calls for calm by all parties and their commitment to protecting civilians and civilian objects from any actions. contrary to international law and international humanitarian law. we continue to believe that there is still an opportunity for diplomacy to produce a solution to this dangerous crisis. that required diplomatic steps should seek in the short term for a d escalation of the situation and the limiting of all military maneuvers to prevent sparking a wider conflict. for this to happen, there must also be a state of commitment to negotiations between nato and the russian federation in the middle and long term. such a commitment will need the vision to design a viable security architecture for europe that protects the sovereignty territorial
6:28 am
integrity and political independence of ukraine and other states. while being sensitive to the con, sons of all relevant parties. mister president, we want to believe that this chamber, in light of its stories passed, retained the wisdom and wherewithal to prevent a catastrophic war. we have confidence that the united nations charter embraced as a whole, protects ukraine and all countries. not only those with modest military means, but also the walls nuclear powers. when we consider the recent past of was undertaken by choice. and when the charter and international law were breached, eventually the safety and security of all. busy parties was tragically under mike miss them, president. the membership of this chamber was fundamentally shaped by the states
6:29 am
that emerged victorious from world war 2. and doing so, the charter best told on them a special responsibility that reflected the sacrifices they had made to defeat a unique evil to mankind. we believe that the leaders who designed to days multilateral system, what profoundly humbled by the catastrophic war they have survived so much so that they were inspired to erect the sovereign equality of states as a central pillar of our united nations. as such, we urge all members to recall the ruin from war that has been experienced by more states sitting around this table. it is in this moment of peril that we can powerfully pivot to recommit to the charter. our predecessors bequeathed us a large part of that re commitment would be aided by our listening to the factory general and utilizing his good office as to deliver according to their intended
6:30 am
design. in the coming days, we hope that we will observe the escalation in don bus and that every effort will be made to protect the sovereignty territorial integrity and political independence of ukraine. we further hope that we will benefit from the visionary leadership that the world needs to day in committing to negotiating a lasting european security architecture that laws perceptions of threat and promote corporation. i thank you able to little bit, i think the representative kenya for his statement and i'll give the floor to the representative of gabon messy mrs. belinda. thank you sir. given that i thank the secretary general for his statement as well as for under secretary general monsieur de carla for the information she provided with him for sir. this is the.
