9:44 pm
whose calls remain unanswered. diplomacy is like hope it dies last, but for it to work, it must be ceased, not ignored, as the sector general just called for here. we call on the follow members of the security council to rally in support of against sovereignty and territory integrity . russia has been warned repeatedly that they will be alone in this foolishness, that they will be responsible for the innocent lives loft, including rush with maybe and for the destruction cause in the heart of europe in the 21st century. if they choose to continue to execute their plans, as everything indicates, they will bear not only the consequences of the war, but also the historical blame and shame of invading a neighboring country. when its responsibility is a big country. as a permanent member of the security council calls for it to work and help preserve peace and security, not to torpedo it. we reiterate our support became sovereignty,

9:46 pm
who asked me to convey in the strongest possible terms, he is an hour, steadfast, support for ukraine, and support for the urgent meeting this council has convene to night. furthermore, he asked me to share that the united states and our allies and partners will continue to respond to russia's actions with unity, with clarity and web conviction. we're here tonight because we believe, along with ukraine, that a full scale further invasion into ukraine by russia is imminent. to night, we're seeing the russians close air space. move troops into dan bus and move forces into combat ready positions. this is a perilous moment and we're here for one reason. and one reason only to
9:47 pm
ask russia to stop return to your borders, senior troops and your tanks and your planes, back to their barracks and hangers. and senior diplomats to the negotiating table. back away from the brink, before it is too late. last week, the united states inform this counsel and the world about what we expected to see unfold. we said that russia would manufacturer pre pretext for an attack. we have since seen numerous false flag events staged along the line, the line of lines of contact and on bus. we said russia with theatrically convene, emergency meetings, at the highest levels of the russian government. we all saw this on monday with the state televised security council meeting held by president putin. an orchestrated
9:48 pm
moment in which the russian government decided to recognize as and i quote, independent states, unquote, sovereign territory of ukraine controlled by russia's proxies since 2014. they literally violated ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity on live television. before the world. we said that false proclamations would come, declaring russia would need to defend russian speakers in ukraine. we got that and much more from president putin speech on monday. and during the speech of the russian ambassador in the general assembly today, no one could have predicted just how dangerous inciting, and far reaching president putin speech would be. with prudent arguing for taking
9:49 pm
the world back in time to an era of empowers and colonies. finally, we said the attack would come next that we could expect communications to be jammed cyber attacks to shut down key ukranian institutions. last week we attributed to russia denial of service attacks against ukrainian banks, and we saw similar activity this morning targeting government sites as well. and in the last few hours, we have received very concerning reports of destructive malware were placed on hundreds of computers and executed on at least some after that we said would come the bombs and missiles, the soldiers and the tanks. already soldiers have been deployed to the occupied region of ukraine. ladies and gentlemen, we're here to night because we believe the rest is eminent. now,
9:50 pm
over the past few weeks, russia has called our predictions hysterical. russia said we were lying. russia said we were supplying the world with misinformation. russia's diplomats even laughed in the face of the human suffering. we were sounding the alarm about. but what we said would happen has come to pass for all the world to see. so let us be clear. all parties are not culpable. here, there is no middle ground calling for both sides to de escalate. only gives russia a pass. russia is the aggressor here. russia's attack on ukraine is tantamount to an attack on the un and every member stayed in the
9:51 pm
chamber. to night. the security council is charged with adjudicating threats to peace and security. russia is bypassing it. it's inter russia is by passing it entirely and taking matters into its own hands and that undermines the institution. it undermines every one who participates in it. the united states, ukraine, its allies and partners across europe. un officials, every other member of the security council. we have all repeatedly implored russia to engage f a diplomatic table. those calls were not heard. instead, tonight, russia has brought its people, the ukrainian people, and the world to the brink of a conflict that will produce an untold amount of human suffering. i said it in
9:52 pm
the general assembly this morning and i'll say it again tonight. every day russian should be asking themselves right now, how many russian lives putin will sacrifice for his cynical ambitions. responsible members of the security council will stand together. and we will stand with ukraine and we will, we will do so despite a reckless, irresponsible, permanent member of the security council, abusing its powers to attack its neighbour and subvert the un and our international system. this morning and the general assembly, we saw dozens of leaders from across the globe stand up to defend the un charter and ukraine against russia's brazen attacks. we were proud to send with them.
9:53 pm
