that you recall one fundamental fact that is way more than a curiosity until russians invasion of ukraine. no nuclear plant has been ever attacked over run, occupied and reportedly militarized by an invading army. it is the 1st time that this is happening as a result of russia's war of choice. and it has created one of the worst precedence that his country is evidence that the russian forces have been and continue to conduct their ugly war. rec, lastly, ambled brutality. that is a legitimate concern. therefore, the russian forces may directly or indirectly cause a serious or severe nuclear accident and take other actions that may result in the exposure of gain population to isaac radiation. all while accusing the victims of such others of as victims of such actions. such dreadful concerns have been validated by the showing of a nuclear research into the car,

him as well as by overrunning and occupying europe's biggest nuclear power station at the foot easier. in the course of the last 6 months of the war, russia is carried out in this going to a ground near attacks upon civil infrastructure and residential areas causing thousands of innocent victims, further, cyber warfare against targets in ukraine, including electric power, grid installations and systems have reportedly been linked with the russian actors and interests. making full clarity on the situation on the power planting is critical and this must be carried out to the international ice. meaning the a missions, colleagues, rushes action constitute a suit of and responsible, responsible breach of nuclear safety rules. and are another example of blatant disregard for international law and intern after norms. they undermine the ability to monitor going. this will the cure activities for safeguarding purposes,

as rightly stated by the g 7 foreign ministers recently. and i caught it is russia continued control of the plan that endangered the region. therefore, the longer the war continues, the greater the likelihood that additional nuclear challenges and risk may arise related to the need of ukraine's nuclear, a new program for equipment maintenance and other little issues which would not be conducted normally just because of the war of any reiterated full and continued support for the i. e. a and for staff to be able to access all nuclear facilities and ukraine safe and without impediment, and engage directly and without interference with ukrainian personnel responsible for the operation of these facilities. the safety of all individuals implementing those efforts must be addressed to strengthen nuclear safety security and safeguards in ukraine and condemns any active violence perpetrated inside or near the japanese or nuclear power plant or against his personal ukrainian personnel

operating the plant and the rushing of patients must be able to carry out their important task without restriction threats or pressure. unfortunately, as we have seen, the semi safety pillars essential to maintain safety, nuclear, unsecure, and nuclear safety and security defined of the start of the war by the a have all been compromised. i've suffered a nuclear power plant. we reiterate our calls on the russian federation to stop the war and immediately withdraw all its armed forces from nuclear facilities and from the entire ukraine and territory. let me conclude like others, because it's important is the president by holding director general grossi has said repeatedly including of the ga, if an accident occurs, these are going to be a power plant. we will have, we will not have a natural disaster to blame. we only have ourselves the answer to actually, we know who is to be blamed, but we hope we will never come to it. and for this,

there is need for concrete action, since inaction is unconscionable looked here, safety should not be compromised. it should not be politicized. and it should not be used for mentally tactic advantages. this is not a time for empty words, for bias, narratives or blame game, but for the immediate and strict application of the i. e. a safety procedures and protocols in ukraine. i thank you. i says you, i thank you for your statement and i'll give the floor to the representative of india. let me begin by thanking director general ref grossi for his update focusing on the safety and security of nuclear facilities in ukraine. we continue to carefully follow developments regarding the safety and security of ukraine's nuclear power reactors and facilities. india attaches high importance to ensuring

the safety and security of these facilities as any accident involving nuclear facilities could potentially have serious consequences for public health and the environment. we also called high priority to the discharge by the international atomic energy agency of safeguards and monitoring activities in accordance with the statute in an effective non discriminatory and efficient manner . and we value the efforts of the agency. in this regard, we have noted religious information available with regard to the nuclear power plants and facilities and ukraine, including the updates published on 9 and 10 august by the i. e, as well as today's update on native developments. india expresses its concern over the reports of shilling near the spent fuel storage facility of the separation nuclear power plant. we call for mutual restraint. so if not to endanger

the safety and security of nuclear facilities. mister president, india continues to remain concerned over the situation in ukraine. since the beginning of the conflict, india has consistently called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and, and into violence. we've called upon both sides to return to the parts of diplomacy and dialogue. we support or diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. while we are discussing the nuclear dimension of this conflict, we need also to be acutely cognizant of the impact of the ukraine conflict on developing countries. particularly on the supply of food grains, fertilizer, and fuel. it is important for all fast to appreciate the importance of equity,

affordability, and accessibility. when it comes to food grades, open markets must not become an argument to perpetrate inequity and promote discrimination. in this regard, we welcome the secretary general back to initiative to open the exports of grains from ukraine via the black sea and the facilitation of the exports of fresh and food and fertilizers. these efforts demonstrate that differences can be resolved to sustain dialogue and diplomacy, which has been the consistent position of india. finally, mister president, we would continue to retreat. that the global order should be anchored on international law. the un charter and respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of nation states. thank you. i thank you for your statement. i give the floor to the representative of kenya.

thank you mister president. i found mister crow c director general full of the i. e h for is briefing we are having a discussion on the backdrop of the 10th review conference of their parties of n p t happening in these premises. their objective of this treaty is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology promote corporation in the piece, pull uses of nuclear energy and find that the goal of achieving nuclear, disarmament and general ah, complete disarmament. we are all alive to the fact that the use of these weapons, whether intentional or accidental,

can have an apocalyptic effect on humanity by a diversity and the environment can yet therefore reaffirms. it's believe that the total elimination of nuclear weapons remains the only absolute guarantee against the use all threat of use of nuclear weapons. in this regard, we are deeply concerned by the reports of shelling of ukraine's sa parisha nuclear power plant. we not with relieved that no damage was caused to the reactors themselves. nor was that any radiological release or reports of injuries, fully aware of the catastrophic effects of a tree or deliberate targeting of such an installation. we aj the need to subscribe this 7 in depend it indispensable. p. last of nuclear safety and

security. as echoed by the director general, we father hodge, the parties to refrain from any military action that could jo paydays, nuclear safety and security in ukraine. it is also essential that the i year be allowed to send a mission of nuclear safety security and unsafe guides expense to the site as soon as possible to conduct safeguards, prep verification activities. mister president. beyond the den, just post by an insecure nuclear power plant canyon remains consigned by the unabated strikes and shelling in various parts of ukraine with no meaning full ceasefire in sight. this war continues to cause untold suffering to the ukrainian

people. it also threatens to, i shall in a new era of major global war ok now continues to quote for a string from any actions that me father escalate the situation. and we read to reach the need to shift forecasts to an immediate cessation and the deploy men of available diplomatic tools fetch c. c. sion should set the foundation for the negotiation of a lasting peace supplement that guarantees there's so plenty territorial integrity of ukraine while taking into consideration the security concerns of russian federation. finally, mister president, i reaffirm king as respect for the sovereignty until he told you the integrity of

as well as all other ukranian nuclear facilities. as underscored by the sector generals a day, oh, the person now and military facilities must urgently be withdrawn from the plant ukrainian stock operating the plant must be able to conduct their work without threat or pressure. russia's control over ukrainian nuclear facilities is a danger to the ukrainian people and beyond for the region and the whole of the international community. mr. president from hale's and supports the efforts of the i, a director general. we have supported them at a high level from the beginning and in particular, we contributed to his height to his technical assistance planning. ukraine. france recalls the importance of the 7 pillars of nuclear safety and security, defined by the director general. they must be respected. the ability to verify ukraine's peaceful nuclear activities must be enabled to ensure compliance with

safeguards that are also compromised by russia's actions is, must be restored. that's why i would like to, to school here. the importance of allowing an a mission of experts to this upper region planned. this mission must focus on nuclear safety and security and enable the necessary inspections we conducted pursuing the safeguards. the mission should be conducted with full respect for the full sovereignty of ukraine on, on its territory and its infrastructure. beyond that, you'd be a personnel should have access to all ukrainian nuclear facilities safely and on hindered the agency must be able to directly and without interference. communicate with ukrainian staff in charge of running disabilities. mister president, france reiterates its indefatigable support for the independent sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders. since the 24th of february, we have borne witness to the devastating human cost of the russian aggression. russia must immediately withdraw its troops from ukraine,

a global scale. that is specifically why we completely unambiguously reiterate that any attack on nuclear facilities is unacceptable in line with what was established by the i a general conference in 2009 any attack or threat against nuclear facilities used for peaceful purposes represents a violation of the principles of the un charter international law and the very

edge that no obstacles nor conditions must be imposed to enable such inspections. take place for such a mission. billing will approve would provide us with objective, accurate and independent information on the prevailing condition. the plans which are urgent to understand that i conclude by expressing our support for the effort to generate the right conditions to stabilize the plant. we urge

its director general to continue to inform this counsel of the developments in clear security as it he has just done. finally, these great vicissitudes, once again demonstrate that it is urgent to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict leading to a cessation of hostilities. thank you, president guy here. i think the representative mexico for his statements. i keep the for to the representative arlin. thank you president, and i would like to time director general grossi for his briefing, d. e. a has an indispensable role in supporting ukraine to ensure new care safety and security at all facilities in that country. especially since the russians invasion. and you have our full backing in your work. president, ireland is deeply concerned by the situation at the upper asia nuclear power plant

and the strong risk of a radiological accident or incident arising from military activity of the size. such an incident could have devastating consequences for the people of ukraine have already suffered so much from the actions of the russian federation. it would also have serious consequences for the lighter region. let us make no mistake. the issues its upper asia arrived solely from the unjust and unprovoked war, waged by russia against ukraine. the reckless actions of the russian military forces in ukraine have already demonstrated their utter disregard for new care safety and security, including their violent illegal seizure and occupation of the range of facility, their actions res, real fears of a significant radiological chemical or biological accident in ukraine. director general grossi have previously set eyes the basic principles of new care, safety,

and security, that should be respected. we call on russia and indeed old states to commit themselves to these 7 pillars of nuclear safety and security regarding peaceful nuclear facilities and materials in all circumstances, including in situations of armed conflict. president why we need here today in other parts of this building, delegates are gathered for the review conference on the tracy and the non proliferation of nuclear weapons. the n p t forms the cornerstone of the international nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation architecture. russia's actions in ukraine brisk, undermining all 3 pillars of work under this important treaty. we urge the russian federation not to violate or undermine such essential multilateral instruments above which our collective security depends. president,

in calling for today's discussion, russia is seeking to avoid its responsibilities and to distract from what is really happening because of its unjustified an unprovoked war on ukraine. we again urge the russian federation to stop using the security council to try to advance its campaigns of this information. if russia is serious about safety at the separation nuclear power plant, what it needs to do is clear and its illegal occupation of the size withdraw its troops and munitions. so that the cranium authorities, with the i. e, a can uphold the responsibilities for safety and security at the size. the a board of governors has also set this out in its resolution at its special session in march. finally, president, ireland called again on russia to end its brutal war against the ukrainian people. and withdraw its troops from the entire internationally recognized territory of

secure operation. and the i e, a could resumes their important safeguards, verification activities. now, over 5 months later, russia control of this apparition plant continues the competence ukrainian authorities. and i. e a inspectors are still prevented from properly carrying out their essential duties. as director general gracie has said, rushes actions have violated almost all of his 7 pillars of nicholas safety and security rushes actions a contrary to the principles. the convention on nuclear safety and other international nuclear safety conventions. and they put at jeopardy the safety of millions, who would be affected by an incident in ukraine. presidents in light of this, and despite russia, continues, le continued lies and obscuration in this chamber about his brutal and

irresponsible assume. we should be clear, it is russia's continued invasion and military presence that is putting up the plant at risk and thereby endangering the local population, the white region, and the entire international community president. we welcome director general gracie's efforts to strengthen nuclear safety and security in ukraine. in challenging circumstances and the tireless heroic efforts of ukrainian nuclear facilities stuff, despite the immense pressure they are under. we reiterate our cool for i a e, a. inspectors to be permitted access to all nuclear facilities in ukraine to address nuclear safety, security and safeguards concerns in a manner that was spence ukraine, sovereignty over its territory and infrastructure disregard we note with appreciation phone. mr. collaborate letter to mr. gracie and the sector general on

this issue. and we once again called on russia, immediately to withdraw its forces from ukraine and returned full control of all ukraine's nuclear facilities to the rightful sovereign owner to ensure their safe and secure operation. thank you. i see here, i think neatly the father of the united kingdom placement. i shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of china colleagues. a good will see i thank director general grossey for his briefing. mold when china has been closely following the issue of the safety and security of the nuclear facilities. ukraine, on his deep concerned by that recent attack on the separate area,

nuclear power plant. according to the information obtained by the i e, a foam ukraine's nuclear regulator, the attack did not pose an immediate threat to a nuclear safety also. and the radiation level remained normal. nevertheless, they had tug date cause damage to their physical integrity of the pond. it's of safety and security system power supply unimpressed. know safety, and sounded a nuclear alarm to the international community courses. they safety and security of nuclear sites must not be subject to trial and error these up. her rozier nuclear power plant is one of the largest such plant in europe. if a large scale accident occurs at this plant, the consequences would be more devastating than that of the focus she my nuclear accident. the leakage of massive quantities of new radioactive material is called

by the focus she, my nuclear disaster, and the resulting nuclear contaminate had water have far reaching consequences, repercussions for the marina merriman foot safety and a human health thereby sparkling widespread interest and concern. trend does not want to see the same risks playing out again. we call all the parties concerned to exercise restraint. act with caution. refrain from any action that may compromise, nuclear safety and security, and a spare, no effort to minimize the possibility of accidents. long term, always suppose the i e eyes active role in promoting nuclear safety and security and performing a safeguards duties in strict accordance with is monday to move . we have noted that director general go see on the i e, a team of experts have been planning to visit the the procedure nuclear power plant

would lose the sex tree. general good, harris has also issued an appeal for this purpose. russia has undertaken to provide necessary assistance to the visit. we are also aware that ukraine is the letters to director general glossy under secretary general gutierrez, dated august. the 9th underscored the increasing necessity of organizing such a visit. see what we hope that an existing obstacles can be cleared as soon as possible, so that the mission by director general go see an i. e. a team of experts can materialize without delay and they will be able to conduct their work without impediment colleagues. that ukraine crisis has been dragging on for over 5 months. they secured he risks opposed by the conflict who nuclear facilities are looming, large, threw out only by defusing, the situation and restoring peace at an early date. can we fundamentally remove

nuclear risks? reduce misjudgment and avoid accidents. whence again waco on all parties concerned to resume negotiations as early as possible. seek a solution to the ukraine crisis in a cool headed. i'm the rational fashion. i dress each other's legitimate security concerns. butte i balanced effective on a sustainable security architecture. so as to achieve common security wouldn't want you one. it is china's consistent position that the purposes under print. suppose of the wind tide her shall be upheld state sovereignty under territory integrity. be respected. we call upon all parties in the international community to act responsibly, to facilitate a proper solution of the crisis, volume yarber,
