a special session should have the same membership as that of the forty's 6. is that the of the 76th regular session of the assembly, namely the bahamas baton, chile, china, namibia, the russian federation, sierra leone, sweden, and the united states of america. if there is no objection, i shall consider the credentials comedy constituted accordingly. it is thought decided i now in white the assembly to turn its attention to some item b of item 3 of the provisions agenda and titled the report of the credentials committee is proposed in the letter from the president of the general assembly date, 27th, february 2022 in light of the urgency of the matter to be considered. it is recommended that the assembly accept the credentials approved for the 7 d 6th, the eula session. for the purposes of the 11th emergency special session. in this regard id called at the credentials from

d of the 76. the regular session accepted the credentials of the representative of all member states at its meeting held on 1st december 2021. and the general assembly approved the report of the credentials committee bites resolution. ok, so the assembly is going through some housekeeping issues right now. in the meantime let's i bring and she hypertonic. he's joining us from the un headquarters in new york. so she have, as, as i'm saying, the assembly just goes through a few sort of procedural issues and housekeeping issues. tell us what this is all about and how significant it is that this is actually an emergency special session that's being held. yes, this is the 1st time since 1982 that this at this procedure, the uniting for peace procedure a successfully been used in order to convene and emergency special session off the un general assembly that it's designed specifically when the security council is deadlocked as it is right now with russia having veto power over the resolution of attempted to possibly the u. s. attempted to pass on friday. what we are expecting

now after they go through some of these, pres, proceeded details will be ace, will be the president of the general assembly will make an address, followed by the secretary general of united nations. and then the 1st to speak is all ukraine. and the russian federation, the mouth list, we had of speak and says, a 101 member states want to have their voice heard at the special session. so we expect the session to, to last several days at the end to which there will be a vote on a resolution, which again, we're, we're, we've seen a what these one draft version of this with, with a very strongly worded condemnation of the russian action in ukraine as well as today's concern there, i suppose, we'll have the ukraine russian federation. you france, china, possibly. but so the u. s. is way down the list actually there are $87.00 out of a $101.00 speaker said that they would come in a bit later. one would imagine in the week at, we're thinking maybe wednesday for the conclusion of this, of the special session and voting on on a un resolution where the lead 2 thirds,

2 thirds of votes in the general assembly to adopt the resolution non binding. but as far as we can see, it's, it's as firmly worded as sternly worded as the original draft resolution. but the u . s. was circulating at the un security council, which frankly threatened not just a russian veto, but a chinese veto, as well. in the end, they voted on it on a, on a, a watered down version, but that was vetoed by the russians anyway. yes, you have, and you know, on that note that it's non binding. i suppose it's important to just stop there and, and look into that for a 2nd because even though they're non binding anyhow, with political weight, do they carry it? she up, stand by for a 2nd. before we get into that, let's cross back to the general assembly in listening parties to exercise maximum restraint and for a full return to diplomacy and dialogue. the convening of this 11th emergency, a special session of the general assembly, rotating the charter and mandated in resolution 377. air 5,

entitled united him for peace is a new opportunity to ensure that the leadership of the united nations is up to the expectation of the people we saw on metas, the data to peace and security. it is imperative that we act on behalf of the women, children, and men caught in the crossfire. it is imperative that we puzzle all available channels to contain the situation to de escalate attention and to seek peaceful resolution in accordance with international law and the principles of the united nations carter. i welcome the announcement by the secretary general on friday. that 20000000 from the central emergency response fund will be allocated the humanitarian crisis in ukraine. the humanitarian consequences on civilian population. in particular, women, children, the elderly and other one rebel groups will be devasted. the mass exodus of refugees include in foreign nationals numbering over half

a 1000000 from ukraine to the eastern edge of the european union has showed no signs of stopping. jack points at the borders of poland, hungary, slovakia, romania and the non e u members. moldova have turned into talk points. i encourage member states to support medicaid and initiatives. is there become available? my dear friends, there are no been us in wall. but countless lives are torn apart to that effect, security and excess. what he meant in an efforts must be guaranteed, excellency is the united nationals, tata drafted sauce soon after the 2nd world war is based on the principle of sovereign equality. it outlines a world we are member states, settled there in financial disputes by peaceful means without the threat or use of force. the on by military offensive is inconsistent with this. it is an f front to

the founders of this organization and everything it stands for. the violence must stop. human and jayden law and international humanitarian law must be respected and diplomacy and dialogue must prevail. excellency is my dear colleagues. in april 1946, the league of nations dissolved. and in 26 years of the existence of an organization which ultimately had proven incapable of preventing the outbreak of the most destructive war in, in human history. it was the leagues failure to provide a mechanism for the enforcement of the international collective security that exposed its most fatal flaws. the right honorable right count, robert cecil, one of the original architects behind the league of nations. in his final eulogy to

the league, said, the league is dead. long live the united nations. we are now in the seventy's 6th year of the existence of the united nations. it is to remind ourselves that leave founded the united nations to maintain international peace and security. and to that end, to tech, effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to piece and to bring about by peaceful means and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law. just months or settlements of international disputes or situations. yesterday a rear window of opportunity opened up for dialogue as reconvene. here in the general assembly. negotiate soon brought negotiators from both sides are holding talks in belarus. use of was a real form. we pray that these talks really calm down temples and pear. where to

piece, excellency is the colleagues the general assembly, which is $193.00 member states, represents the collective conscience of humanity. the strength of this assembly is rooted in its moral authority that has demonstrated that moral courage. and you will stood as debate not to rip up better, not to repub warren tardy, but to give peace a chance. let us invite the fly off. love humanity, compression and hope guns are better off when not let peace prevail. i thank you. that is abdullah had he is the president of the un general assembly and he was kicking things off as that emergency un general assembly session on the ukraine

crisis. i now begins just a reminder that the members are meeting to discuss the resolution to condemn russia's invasion off ukraine. and this is in fact the only the only the 11 from such special session sonia, go to live in over 70 years will listen. and once again, we, we do believe that is the un secretary general and turning a terrorist. his taken the podium and president, let's listen into his wonderfully excellencies. the fight thing in ukraine must stop. it's raging across the country from air, land, and sea. it must stop. now. russian, me silent that bombardments have been pounding ukrainian cities day and night. the capitol keys is encircled from all sides. in the face of the containing the tax

cave city 1000000 residents are being forced to seek safety in their homes. improvised bomb shelters, and the cities, subways. you can in government as distributed the meaningful number of items to the population. we, the state of the objective to participate in the defense of the country. according to an hcr, off, a 1000000 ukrainian is a flat across the country's board of those. although russian strikes are reportedly largely targeting your canadian military facilities. we have crappy, mal accounts of residential buildings, critical civilians to the doctor, and that the non military targets sustaining heavy damage. these escalating violence which is resulting in civilian deaths including children. he's totally an acceptable enough. is enough. soldiers need to move back to their barracks and leaders need to move to piece. civilians must be protected intellectually. many

teddy and human rights law must be upheld the sovereignty independence and that he follow integrity of ukraine within its international recognised borders, must be respected in line with general assembly resolutions. use the presidents. we are facing a tragedy for ukraine, but also a major regional crazy, potentially disastrous implications for household. yesterday, russian nuclear forces would put on high alerts. these is a chilling developments. the mere idea of a nuclear conflict is simply and conceivable. nothing can justify the use of nuclear weapons. mr. president, we face what could easily be com, youtube's europe's worst humanitarian and refugee cries is in decades with the numbers of refugees and internally displaced, multiplying by the minutes. i am grateful for the compassion, generosity,

and solidarity of you clenched neighbors while taking in those seeking safety. it is important that the solidarity is extended without any discrimination based on race, religion, or ethnicity. the neighboring countries. really all our supports in the days and weeks to come. united nations will continue to assist with these efforts. is the president on saturday, i spoke with pleasant sir lensky and assured him that united nations would not abandon ukrainian people and convey the audience emulation to enhance humanitarian assistance. even before the events of the past week, un was providing some 3000000 people on both sides of the contract line with humanitarian assistance. united nations is not working. 24 times 7 to excess humanitarian needs and scale up the delivery of life saving support to many more people desperate for protection and shelter. but equally women and children,

elderly people, and those with disabilities. we are fully committed to staying and delivering for every one affected by these deadly conflict across the country. some of our personnel on expanding existing programs and others that be padding new operations to get help to those who need it fast. i want to, i light city concrete sections. first. i've are located 20000000 us dollars from the central emergency response fun to support the emergency operations along the contact line in the eastern or blasts of the net scandal when sca and in other parts of the country. these will allow us to help more vulnerable people get the basics. shelton, food want that, and they'll scare as soon as possible. seconds, i have a warranty. them in iowa, as the, when crisis coordinated for ukraine's evil. yes. we the government with the law relevant actors on the ground, supported by the residences,

humanitarian coordinator, and un country team. at the same time, we are bringing together partners in and outside the country. and searching personnel in to the country serves to morrow, we will launch 2 for the 90, the emergency appeals for ukraine and the region. when that the rest is escalating, humanitarian needs inside the country, including rising internal displacement and another response to the needs of people crossing international borders to seek refuge in countries neighboring ukraine. as we ramp up our efforts, if he's essential that the safety and security of un and associated but so now he knew crane are protected in accordance with international law. and that you meditate in excess who vulnerable people and communities is guarantees. i call on all sides to pull their obligations while all freedom of movement of humanitarian personnel and to fairly silly things safe rapids and an imputed passage of humanitarian relief. i also urged international community to mobilize in support of

our funding, appeals to address the needs of all those displaced by these crises, as well as other vulnerable groups whose numbers will only grow as the fighting escalates. use the president's humanitarian aids is vital, but it is not a solution. it is simply 3 think the worst impacts of the conflicts. the only through solution is peace. the attack on grain challenge is international law and the multilateral system rooted in the un charter cell of the possible consequences of a worsening conflict, are terrifying to contemplate regional tensions are rising. the late, the security measures and the line, the high stakes, for all the economic repercussions of the crises, will have widespread impacts. and that count on every member step to leave up to the principles of the chart for mr. president, the gans at parking now. but the passive dialogue must always remain open. it's

never too late to engage in good faith negotiations. and for that has all the issues peacefully. i hope that the direct talks not taking place between ukrainian and russia delegations will produce not only in the immediate all to the fighting, but also a pess towards the diplomatic solution. i welcome and encourage all peaceful efforts to end the bloodshed and loved these conflicts. i sank, the countries we have offered to ocean facilitate negotiations. united nations is ragged to support such efforts. if the president's war is not the answer. it is thus, humans suffering senseless destruction and then immense this since those destruction and then immense distraction from the real challenges facing humanity. the climate crisis and biodiversity loss vitally need. the social economic recovery from the pandemic. healing the divides of race and gender. and so many of the pressing

through the 1st sensory challenges humanity can not afford to be locked in the mindset that dredges up the worst of past centuries. we need to move forward those united nations to overcome the scores of war will to focus on solving problems, not making them worse. in cities around the world, people are taking to the streets and lemon, demanding an end to war. people in ukraine wants and needs peace, and i believe people in the russian federation due to we need peace. now. thank you . that's the un secretary general, and so you with harris speaking at that emergency special session that's being held to discuss the situation in the ukraine. and what he had to say was that fighting must stop. he said, the escalating violence is totally unacceptable saying enough is enough. and turning a terrorist also calling on leaders to move towards peace and saying the sovereignty

and independence of ukraine must me respected. i now give the he did describe it as a tragedy for ukraine with potentially having dangerous disastrous implications for us all and right now we see the permanent representatives of ukraine to the united nations at the podium. let's listen to what survey cruelest us has to say. with the president sector during sex or general for the 1st time since the united nations was born,

there is a full fledged war in the center of europe. every one in these, coal and everyone in the world knows that russia and russia alone started these invasion now facilitated by billows. these more was not provoked. it was chosen by some one who is right now, sitting in the bunker. we know what happened with the person who sat in the bunker in berlin in may 1945 before i continue is my formal statement. i would like to switch to russian and invite you to put on the headphones.

because i would like to read from the screen shot of the smartphone or a smartphone. oh, were killed russian soldier. there's an actual screenshot from someone who is dead already. launch the cock, but she moved up dullgard's near the beach, is a structure in yemen. and from the title yeah, machine to other countries in the region such as the u. e and saudi arabia. i held to account that my me until the time you're really think of a little bit my my yeah, i was really of cream. oh, you know, watching you arcadia. then pop

us graduate, most i get the slides whether i can send you a parcel like a cool pursuit. what kind of a parcel mama can you send me to the gallery? sure. what are you talking about? what happened? mama, mama, i'm in ukraine to lester. yeah, sure. there is a real war raging here nationally. i'm afraid, may be on perfume. god, we are bombing down all of the cities together. even even targeting civilians values. we were told that they would welcome us arnica. nice but and they are falling under our armored vehicles throwing themselves under the wheels and not allowing us to pass. they call us fascists. marked me which mama, this is so hard on with. he was killed in the several moments before he was killed

. imagine if you wanna im just visualize the magnitude of the tragedy. you have to imagine next to you next to every name blade of every single country in these general assembly. more than 30 souls of keeled russian soldiers already next to every name of the every single country in these assembly. saudi bloss killed russian soldiers, hundreds of killed ukrainians, dozens of kill children, and it goes on and on and on.

so just imagine those killed people next to you when you will listen to my formal statement. big, militarized power seeking for jail. political greatness has launched a full fledged military offensive against the smaller neighbour aimed at invading the country. deadly airstrikes dropped on civilians heads across the entire country . and the russian troops crossed ukraine's borders from the territory or russia bellows. and they occupied bars. so ukraine's dunbar and crimea. does it remind you of something, doesn't it? indeed, it's very clear parallels could be drawn with the beginning of the 2nd

world war 2 and the rush s. course of action is very similar to what their spiritual mentors from the torah dr. employed on the ukrainian land. 80 years ago just won the most recent example. example o c, human sufferings, example a war crime. as all of us were on our way to the general assembly today, the russian army shelter was grad, multiple rocket launchers, systems, the residential areas of the city of har. give the 2nd be biggest in ukraine. innocent civilians have been killed and wounded the exact numbers. it's very difficult estimate, because so far the beaufort, while the negotiations are still on the way i had the board of was boilers.

we therefore express our gratitude for overwhelming support that made this decision on the emergence, secession possible. we are grateful to the president of the general assembly for he's taking care of this idea well in advance. we appreciate the engagements. engagement of the un secretary general who has taken a very strong stance in suppose of peace in support of the un charter. we have been prompted to call for an emergency special session as the level of the strat to the global security has been equated to the to that will the 2nd world war or even higher following puddings, oda to boot, and the lord russian nuclear forces. what, what a madness heap he wants to kill himself.

he does need to use nuclear arsenault. he has to do what these say, what, what the guy in, in berlin did in the bunker. in may 1945 the security council addressed the issue of the russian war against the grain. and the decision was not adopted due to the obvious reason. the contrary, adapting to occupy ukraine seems to sales and 14 has occupied the seat of the over the or the consul spell permit member since 1991 before we do not accept the russian logic that the security council was unable to act due to one sided and unbalanced approach, the only guilt, the party east, the russian federation.

this thing was delegates. russia uses all its military potential to attack ukraine and has begun re deploying reserve units on the border with ukraine. it fires crews and ballistic missiles at cities at back. so without asian, thanks, and a tillery san, so subversion and reconnaissance groups, which mark residential buildings in preparation for the air effects rush asked me, styles ha, now aimed had destroying the infrastructure objects. they targeted the radioactive weight, waste disposal sites near keith. the fuel bays in the town of vessels gave that is effectively a keys sob. the objects of logistic infrastructure, including bridges, apple, woods, and water, is it, as it was, remain among the targets such towns as chester and the nissan wagons. go near

logan's gun, now nearly destroyed as well as residential buildings in and around key. and hark, if the rational forces seize the chernobyl nuclear power station and the part of 1000 here, so on region, including the north, creamy and can out due to the active moving of rush and cabby military's through the noble exclusion zone, the radiation level has increased rapidly in the black, the russian war, shaped deliberately at back to stable vessels under the black. so panama, in approaching ukraine lease, going to use a flag in violation of the international law of the c. incredibly, one of the vessels had the russian crew still, it was attacked by the russians. russians keep attacking the gardens and often just

not committing war crimes and violating their own statutes. hospitals in the bio medical aid brigades are also targeted by the russian selling and the sabotage groups working in ukraine, cities and towns the rational military fired on ambulance crews in the areas of that. but he's yeah, and keith in the district of su me. region ross and bang shut down about civilians. later, the russian military does not allow, did not allow ambulances on the spot. as of today, 352 people, including 16 children, were killed on the korean side and 2040 ukrainians. including $45.00 children wounded during the 1st 5 days of the russian invasion.

and these numbers growing non stop, i have already told about the morning shillings in the car. and we cannot really estimate at this moment how many were killed in response, ukraine has activated is right for cell defense. according to the article, $51.00 of the charter, the russian troops are suffering losses. aircraft, helicopters, banks, trucks, personnel, the aggressive forces, have already lost more than $5000.00 men power during the 1st day of aggression. excellence is the general assembly should be local in demanding from the russian federation to stop its offensive against the crane. in recognising russian actions as an act of aggression against sobering, an independent state in demanding from russia to immediately completely and on conditionally withdraw its forces from the territory of grain with within,

you seem to nationally recognize boldest in demanding from the rational federation to reverse the decision related to the status of certain areas of the as can look on the region, so we're green in demanding for compliance with the provisions of international humanitarian law. the general assembly should also be clear with regard to the teacher's role or bellows and involvement in aggression or the russian federation against ukraine. distinguished members of the general assembly. what is happening now in ukraine has already had the security. and if you mean their implications for all of you, immediately for europe a bit later for the rest, including in terms of food security, energy, security, financial market, collapse of the economies. last september,

my president said, while delivering his statement at the high level segment of the 76 session of the general assembly and i quote, i understand that criticism of the un is often heard. but we criticize ourselves and vote. if we fail to respond now, we will face much more than criticism will face oblivion. it must not happen. now it is time to act time to help ukraine that is paying now the ultimate price of freedom and security of itself and over the world. if ukraine does not survive intention to survive, international peace will not survive. if ukraine does not survive, the united nations will not survive have no illusions.

if ukraine does not survive, we cannot be surprised if democracy fails next. now we can save ukraine, save the united nations, save democracy, and defend the values we believe in and that ukrainian stuff fighting for and paying with their lives. the russian delegate will speak shortly. putting has done everything to legitimize the russian presence in the united nations. but i wonder if the russian

presence in the united nations has ever been legitimate. i wonder if ever these hall, this assembly voted in accordance with paragraph 2 of article full on his mission of the russian federation to the united nations. either in december 1991 or in january 1992. over the rafter, i want to ask the delegates whose countries voted for admission of the russian delegation to the united nations to raise their hand

to confirm that russia was admitted to the united nations. according to the charter, police gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, please raise your hand if your country voted in the formal session for the general assembly in reply to the letter by president yeltsin, dated december 24, 1991. when he told the united nations that russia would like to be a continued or state of the demise to soviet union. any one shall i put ban glasses. if my vision fails me, and i don't see any hand raised any country, any one voted for russia membership. i leave you with that and think about it. when you listen to the russian delegate,

i dang, the distinguished represent area of ukraine. better sam baset for ukraine to the united nations and making an appeal to the un saying st. ukraine, unsaved democracy. he's also adding that the un should be vocal in demanding the russian withdrawal from ukraine. he did compare according to him, the russian invasion of ukraine to world war 2. and by the way, what you're looking at at your screen right now, that is the, the russian ambassador to the united nations. leslie and i've been the yahoo is speaking are right after the ukrainian ambassador. once you start speaking, we'll cross over to him. but just more on what the ukrainian ambassador has to say . he called the level of global security. he equated at rather to that of the 2nd

world war and also saying that russian missiles are aimed at destroying key infrastructure in ukraine. let's cross back and listening to the russian ambassador for you, but it's, you just putting the new ones done. blue collision was laid new in recent days. the ukrainian issue had made headlines, global headlines and has now been given try to place at the unsecure council. and now the general assembly at the same time, russian actions are being distorted and warranted. and there is so the number of incredible fakes is staggering. with the use of, with the media outlets and social networks proliferating these allied for this reason today wish to focus on the real reasons for the crisis that has emerged and it's possible consequences. i wish to emphasize the following. the route for the current crisis lies in the actions of ukraine itself for many years. it sabotaged

and clouded it's direct obligations under the means package of measures. just recently, very recently, there was a hope that in cuba they would reconsider and that they would indeed comply with what they signed on to back in 2015 for that 1st and foremost, what was necessary was direct dialogue set out in the document between danielle can logan's, however, the latest confirmation from the senior leadership of the con, the of the country was that ukraine was unwilling to engage in this dialogue. and they took unwilling to take steps to grant a special status to dunbar conn. and i set out in the minsk agreements, and this was actually supported by the western patrons of keith. and this definitively persuaded us of the fact that we no longer have a right to allow the residence of them boss to suffer any further. in so far as ukrainian provocations against the people dumbass in february did not end. in fact,

they were escalated the leadership of dpr and lp. our turn to us with a request to deliver a military support in line with bilateral agreements on cooperation which were arrived at with their recognition and currently with recognition. and this was a logical step to the ongoing, the persistent aggressive actions that undertaken by the kind of regime, the ukrainian authorities, which has several of late been actively armed and incited by a number of states were under the misconception that with the other lay of the of the indulgence of western patrons and sponsors, they would be able to address the issues and boss militarily it is difficult. otherwise, it would be difficult to explain. the ongoing intensification of shelling and sabotage acts on the territory of the republic, which i mentioned that people have done boss. and logan's continuing continued to have to take shelter in baseman said there was

a flood of refugees entering the russian federation and the get still. the nature of the ukrainian armed forces operation did not change. and yet western partners did not wish turned a blind eye to this. and they merely echoed, ukrainian tall tales about the allegations that done boss, people were shelling on themselves at the a worsening us suffering of the residence of them. boss is something that has been left a western sponsors unmoved in recent years. this is discussion this good council general assembly. there was no empathy whatsoever, no compassion for the people who done boss and logan. it seems that these 4000000 people simply don't exist for them. and as a result of the ongoing threats targeting the people of lp are and deeply are given the lack of prospect for addressing the problems in the area under the minsk operations, the due to the felt play up failure to fulfill. and then the russian president took a decision for especially military special military operation to be carried out and

on both occupation of ukraine is not part above this of these plans. the goal of the special operation is to protect the people who for 8 years were subject to torment and guinness and genocide by the cube regime to that. and there is an there's a need to demilitarize and d, nazi fi ukraine. we further will strive to hold accountable those who carried out countless, brutal crimes against the people at the residence, including residence. others have had a ration. this decision was taken in line with article 51 of the united nations charter with the sanction of the federation council. of the russian federation in pursuant of the agreement on friendship cooperation with the p r and l p r. i wish to recall further that the principle of sovereignty and territorial integrity of states a, something which we are being accused of breaching be the v ukraine. the declaration of principles of international law on friendly relations between peoples was adopted in 1917 and it needs to be on staffing. they complied with with respect to

states. i quote, complying in conducting themselves in compliance with the principle of equal rights and self determination of peoples as described above and thus possessed of a government representing the whole people belonging to the territory without distinction as to race, creed, or color and of quote, today's the government of ukraine is no such government. moreover, during the special military operation, russia has been exercising its right to self defense from a regime that has been striving to gain access to nuclear weapons. the president of ukraine explicitly stated this on 18 february, during the munich conference. and this, i would recall this statement that he delivered was met with applause by the participants of this conference. at the same time, ukraine is seeking membership in nato. where would there's act, or to article 5 in effect, and its territorial claims to the russian federation. hence, in,

by leveraging article 51 of the un charter not only has russia protecting itself from the nationalist thread, but russia is also seeking to uphold the purposes in principle through the united nations charter on the soil of dunbar and ukraine. ensuring that the main goal of the nighted nations be upheld namely to, to prevent succeeding generations from a scourge of war. unfortunately, but who of us to note the very negative role played and all of us by western colleagues led by the nice state and circulation of her instead of compelling key of to comply with his obligations. instead, they are merely an site and key of egging it on it. repeating the senseless mantra that their obligations and the minsk agreements are not being complied with. the russian federation, which i should like to recall and emphasize in russian federation is not a party to it. moreover, our western colleagues have shamelessly inundated the country with weapons have sent to the country instructors and effectively incited ukrainian,

sir. oh, who are facing a 120000 strong military contingent to in prompted them to engage in arms revocation against the dumbass. this, thereby, the western countries have created a bubble that cannot but pop, distinguished colleagues discussing it today with it in this discussion. it behooves us, to note that a back in 2008 russian of president at the nato. booker council, a cautioned that members of the ortho members of nato should think 3 times before proudly say, stating that ukraine in georgia will join nato, and that this was a met. this was a portrayed of some kind of a great compromise leap met with action plans undertaken in ukraine and ga, to join the alliance at the same time in 2014, there was

a brutal anti constitutional coup which took place in t of as a result of which nationalist and radical some sees power power. and their policy was to create an anti russia and ukraine, and to move in, or that it join nato. and i will revisit that for us. ukraine. joining nato is a red line the most 1st and foremost from the military strategic level. the deployment of nato infrastructure in that country would compel us to adopt measures in response of which and this has placed us at the verge of conflict. for this reason, in december 2021, we proposed that that agreements be arrived that with the us and nato for security assurances would be provided to the russian federation. however, our extended hand was on ceremony the unceremoniously rebuffed by americans and nato representatives as repose that we propose that we continue to discuss

secondary issues without consideration of our concerns. moreover, the question was not addressed as to the how the freedom of choosing alliance is to set out in the lowest c aligned to the principles of in the visibility of security, which is of great importance to us. probably many of you wonder what should be done now and what can role can the united nations play and addressing the ukrainian process a training crisis. we believe that the un can and should play its role, help to bring the stakeholders positions closer together and to eradicate the causes of conflict. the key role here, according to the charter, should be played by and fall alive with the security council. however, attempts to call me discuss this issue is something our partners did not deign to undertake. for this reason, the russian federation and 25 february voted against the anti russian anti ukrainian draft resolution of the school council. it is anti russian. this document there is no need to explain why it suffice. so to get

a cursory glance at the document, why is it ant ukrainian? the document? because this document beyond any doubt is inconsistent with the root interests of the ukrainian people. and so far as it is an attempt to salvage and to cement you current in ukraine, those authorities who brought the country to the brink of tragedy and a this tragedy has been ongoing for 8 years. now. the main reason for our negative vote was not what was in the draft, but what was not included in the draft. if the sponsors were to attempt to make it even remotely balanced, then they would not have left out issues that need to be addressed in the context of the ukrainian issue. specifically, what was addressed was the way that the unfair constitutional qu, in ukraine, in, in key of, in february 2014 result in am. my dad haunted seizing power and using it against the residents, shelling civilian areas with artillery pieces and multiple rocket launchers and

reigning bombs. and the people have done boss and logan's was unaddressed with how the ukraine authorities with the tolerance and indulgence of western sponsors consistently. and cynically shirk their obligations to implement the misc agreement at the same time, at the line of contact ukrainian death squads, 1st and foremost, comprised of neo nazi and radical elements. methodically, day after day shell to the residential areas of d, p. r and lp are killing women children, the elderly. this is ongoing today. how can we fail to mention the fact that the ukranian nationalists have been preparing cries for all these 8 years. and the protesters set against my down in odessa were burned alive. the peaceful protesters and the commandant were shot out, killed by snipers investigation into these tragedies by v. my don regime was deliberately swept under the rug at the same time. the perpetrators in the desert tragedy are well known. they are flaunting their presence and an alternative

investigation into the reasons a into the acknowledgement by the smile. the sniper's unambiguously emphasizes that the slaughter on independence square was a provocation by the leaders of a. my don, we specifically last year hold it informal to cancel our formula meeting on this issue in order to provide colleagues at the school counselor more information about this. however, in response, at best, we heard from western pay a ponce sponsors for you merely hackneyed, cush cliches. about brush and propaganda. what kind of a tex resolution on ukraine can there be in above mentioned circumstances, there is a need to ensure that the text there was a need for the tech to have a frank assessment of the role in inflating the ukrainian crisis, played by western colleagues who not only were present in the uminski negotiations but effectively gave key of carte blanche to carry out any actions or steps that would be unthinkable for any civilized to stay with. with tales being school

bond about the triumphal democracy in ukraine them. i dont authorities and nationalists engaged in with impunity murdering political opponents, persecuting opposition, shuddering opposition television outlets. are aware that there could be some relatively objective information provided 6 of those television channels were shuttered under zelinski alone. and how could we fail to mention the fact that the country with flooded with weapons which were then turned on the peaceful civilians in the mouth. the responsibility for was taking place right now lies at the feet of the current ukrainian leadership as well as our western colleagues. so today it today we wish to emphasize that this has been inflated by the.
