services including emergency measures to sustain livelihoods, such as cash based assistance. madam president, the war in ukraine has damaged europe, security architecture. it's economic repercussions are already of it, evident far from the battlefield. the longer the war continues, the greater the risk that it will further weaken the global institutions and mechanisms dedicated to preserve peace and security. the war was started by choice . there is no inhibit ability to it or to the suffering it is causing. the united nations is ready to do everything when it's means to help bring an end to it. thank you madam president. i thank mister caller for her briefing, and i now give the floor to mister motion griffith. thank you, megan for getting me and you can from the secretary general and on the searcher

general to color ukrainian civilians are paying far too high for this war. i want to speak briefly about humanitarian needs and what we're doing to meet them before then referred to my recent travels. and the last 6 weeks, as we have had at least 1430 people being killed among them over a 121 children. and we know this is very like serious underestimate homes and civilian infrastructure bridges, hospitals, schools have been damaged and destroyed. and about the current figures on displacement. tell us that more than 11300000 people have now in foster homes and of that 4200000 refugees in those generous name in neighboring countries. that rosemary had just been referring to certain total more than a quarter of the population of ukraine has fled in this extraordinary short time.

unfortunately, we can imagine that these figures will continue to rise until we can find a pause and some piece by the president. the ground and air pen, susan, counter offenses are making life nearly impossible for many civilians in ukraine, families, elderly women and children have been trying to fight fighting already for too long . for more than 5 weeks, the people of maria have been caught up in the fighting. and it is well documented that really my report is a center of hell. other cities like gender, have sue me, kentucky. i mean cut off from essential goods and services in parallel conditions or have during our efforts to access civilians or for them to access us. and we restate that civilians must be allowed to move to stay for areas without the fear

of detects and their own choice and their own selection. it's vital that all parties to the conflict respect their obligations under the manager in law, to protect civilians and to allow impartial, humanitarian organizations safety, rapid unimpeded access to also that ends in need wherever they are, in your presence my, the president of the world watches humanitarian need saw in ukraine, the united nations and our partner organizations are making every effort to dramatically increase our support to affected civilians. the work of the 6000 volunteers from the train, red cross, as we have noted before in this chamber, together with local n g o, east ukraine. these people, these organizations continue to tile tirelessly, the front line of assistance to communities. well,

food program has reached more than 1300000 people with cash and food assistance to push that number up to 2 and a half 1000000 people. in this month. health partners report it more than 100 navy tons of medical supplies were delivered into your grade with another 470 tons on the way. this will address the needs of about 6000000 people in the months ahead. and i'm t is to say that seems an odd word to say in the context of your crime and that often much effort. and then a past day, another convoy went tremonti monitor and hub and any pro to the far east today? food, winter clothing, non food items medicine. i, gene kits were offloaded to ukraine. red cross on were reached the hands of those most in need and the following notification to both parties. a formal

process that we and also the red cross are good for convoys in federal from the u. n. i provided critical support. people in some of the cities encircled by war went on with it and effected by ongoing. i checked several more planned. so these are initial steps that it gives us a basis denied expand, taking our f, it's up to scale, expanding much more than one convoy day. as the secretary general and the under secretary already said, i want to also join them extra. so my concern over the growing number of reports we received the human trafficking, sexual violence exploitation, and abuse in ukraine and in the region. and as such, heretic incidence as we're seeing the overwhelmingly impact to spaced women and children more than others where both stream protection agenda based thought and

services through agencies to provide specialized survivors. and through the, the, the, the wealth of civil society organizations and ukraine. these services are designed, carried out directly in collaboration with through ukrainian civil society, including very particularly women lead organizations that day i'm addressing you from geneva. having just returned from monster overnight. as you know, the secretary general, as he said it, charles, me to bring both sides together on humanitarian grounds to explore both specific and sustained ways to reduce humanitarian suffering, including in particular but in particular, the procedure of the humanitarian. yesterday in moscow, i had long and frank exchanges with the minister of foreign affairs to get rough

and his deputies gave her scene in. and then separately with alexander firm and the deputy minister of defense. in my meetings with the senior officials, i discussed also in addition to these possibilities of your chances files, i discussed the issue of humanitarian convoys safe passage, including the for which we, i've already referred to by the possibilities of building further on that corporation. sharing specific suggestions for mutually agreed upon military freezes to allow for evacuation and civilians. over the safe passage of life saving aid and effects, the humanitarian pauses in different parts of your brain to save lives and bring back a modicum of safety. for those living in those places like moscow

received these suggestions, assured me of the intent to capitalist study those ideas which i left with them when we agreed to remain in close contact. and i came away from these meetings, believing that we have a very long road, a long road ahead of us. but it must be travelled. madam president, we will travel it to morrow, i had to travel time to travel, to pray. to have discussions with senior authorities from the ukrainian government in cave stay on the same issues and others, and they will no doubt present to me and also to see 1st hand with our crisis coordinator. i mean out that humanitarian response by the president. thanks to generous donor congregations, many from governments in this chamber, the humanitarian, responsive, separate, has indeed been scaled up,

allow us to meet the needs of one and a half 1000000 people. we will need sustained financial support for needs. and you, unlike the secretary general, are under the stress, as he has done consistently, the funding must not be diverted from other crises. madam president, trust got to stop that is want to let you heard from david beesley last week on climate shots of it, compounded by the soaring food of pure cos. it indicated by the secretary general could push another 47000000 people globally into severe food insecurity. so the total number of people around the world will not know where the next meal comes from. could be driven to the astonishing figure of 325000000

people around the world. that is by a long distance to the highest and all recent history and well over double. what was what it was 3 years ago. so madame president, i chose a cause like others by reminding the counsel of what the counsel already knows. well, the world cannot, for this rule, neither can the people of your like others, i hold on all council members and member states with infants, to support all efforts from whatever part they come from in the pursuit of peace and the alleviation of humanitarian suffering for the sake of the people of your pride for the sake of those around the world cannot afford to additional but this war imposes on them and all of us we must of the secretary general said silence. thank you about it. i sank, fits for his briefing. i now give the floor to his excellency mister velocity,

mister lansky, the president of ukraine. you have a closer the job. thank you very much, my dear madame all cheerily. on even the dear mister secretary general, distinguished members of the security council and other members of this meeting. thank you very much for this opportunity. i am sure that all the representatives of the united nation members states will hear me to day. yesterday i returned from our city of butcher, recently liberated from russian troops, not far from ki, so there is not a single crime that they would not commit. they are the russian a military search for and purposefully killed anyone who served to our country. they killed shot and killed women outside their houses when they just try to call someone who is alive. they killed entire families, adults and children. and they tried to burn the bodies. i am addressing you on

behalf of a people who honor the memory of the deceased every single day in the memory of the civilians who died who were shot and killed in the back of their head after being tortured. some of them were shot on the street. others were throwing into their wells. so they died there in suffering. they were killed in their apartments, houses, blowing up grenades school. the civilians were crushed by tanks while sitting in their cars in the middle of the road of the world. just for their pleasure. they cut off her lambs, cut their throats, lash their throats. women were raped and killed in front of their children. they were out, their tongues were pulled out only because the aggressor did not hear what they wanted to hear from them. so this is no different from other terry terrors, such as diana shore, occupy some territory. and here it is done by

a member of the united nations security council destroying internal unity borders countries and taken the ride of more than dozens of countries who are self determined in determines they procured consistent policy of destroying ethnic or religious diversity. then in flame wars and deliberately lead them in such a way that to kill as many regular civilians. and it is the to a lee of the country where they deploy, they are truly in ruins and filled with mass graves. you all see that and they support hatred at the level of the state and seek to exported to other countries through their system of propaganda and political corruption. they provoke a global foot crisis that could lead to famine in africa,

asia and other countries and will say, surely. and in large scale political cares in many countries were too and destroying their domestic security. so where is the security that the security council needs to guarantee it's not there, although there is a security council as a point where is there peace? when were you? what were those guarantees that the united nation needs to guarantee? it is obvious that the key institution of their world, which must ensure that the coercion of an aggressive to me is simply cannot work effectively. now the world can see that their russian mil, what russian military did in butcher while keeping the city under their occupation . but the world has yet to see what they have done in other occupied cities and regions of our country. geography might be different or various bud. cruelty is

the same. crimes are the same and accountability must be inevitable. ladies and gentlemen, i would like to remind you of article one, chapter, one of the you on charter. what is the purpose of our organization? its purpose is to maintain peace and make sure that peace is adhered to. and now the un charter is violated. literally starting with the article one. and if so, what is the point of all other articles today as a result of russia's actions in our country in ukraine, the most terrible war crimes of all times are. we see at the since lower end of world war 2 and they are being committed russians, troops are deliberately destroying in ukrainians.
