and cello, un member state, as we just heard, there are 7700000 ukrainians living is refugees. and over 6000000 more displaced in ukraine. that is nearly one 3rd of the population that cannot go home . nearly half the population needs humanitarian assistance. and as miss brown explained needs will exacerbate in the winter and as needs increase, rushes forces hid civilian infrastructure and humanitarian convoys with renewed relentlessness, undermining the civilian populations ability to survive cold winter temperatures. this includes a massive barrage against ukraine cities on october 10, which the secretary general called quote, another unacceptable escalation. close quote of the war as insecurity,

broken supply chains and mass displacement hamper health care across ukraine. a un partner report some 500 attacks by rushes, forces on health care personnel, facilities and pants, partition between february 24 and september 7 has humanitarian organizations scale up. efforts to reach recently retaken areas, rushes retaliatory strikes and the prevalence of land mines post safety risks to humanitarian personnel and other civilians. the un estimates 4300000000 will be needed to provide ukrainians with humanitarian aid. since february, the united states has provided over 1500000000 in assistance to dissent. we urge countries to help the un meet these goals as we continue to stand firmly behind

ukrainian people. from the beginning of its full scale invasion, russian has shown contempt for this council. this continues with evidence that since august and in violation of the un security council resolution 20 to 31, iran has transferred more her year and shy a series. you avi's, to russia. these iranian origin, you a, these have been subsequently used in multiple attacks against ukraine, including the massive barrage on october 10, which had civilians and civilian infrastructure. in addition to the easily identifiable remnants of these you avi's recovered in ukraine, there is significant publicly available documentation, including photographs and video of these u. a. b 's being used against the graeme. the u. n. must investigate any violations of un security council resolutions. and we must not allow russia or others to

impede or threaten the un from carrying out its mandated responsibilities. we take this opportunity to refute resolutely. russia's force assertion that geneva conventions do not apply to captured. foreign volunteers rushes obligations as a party to the geneva conventions, and their 1st additional protocol apply to its detention and treatment of any individuals in the armed conflict. members of ukraine's armed forces, including 3rd country, national volunteers, must be treated as prisoners of war under the geneva conventions, and afforded the treatment and protections commensurate with that status. finally, we cannot forget the spillover effects of this war, which have exacerbated global food insecurity. we must continue to champion the

efforts of and work to renew the black sea grain initiative under this initiative. more than 300 ships, with over 7000000 metric tons of grain and other food had left ukraine's ports. as the human has pointed out, the initiative helps calm markets and limit food price inflation. in fact, the un food and agricultural food price index has fallen since its spike at the start of the war. and wheat prices are back at pre war levels. we cannot tolerate any backsliding at the expense of the world's hungry. in conclusion, mister, mister president, let me say to the countries on this council that over the many months since the escalation of this conflict had never mentioned russia, i would say this. if women matter urge russia to silence its guns,

if children matter, ask russia to withdraw its forces. if the un charter matters call on russia to respect ukraine's sovereignty territorial integrity and political independence, they cause for diplomacy only enable russia as it commits further abuses. we in this chamber, charged with the protection of global peace and security, must continue to call for accountability and russia's immediate cessation of its illegal war of aggression against ukraine. thank you. mister breton. zillow, miss, i thank you, represent dave of the united states for his statement, and i'll get the floor to the representative of island. thank you president. i also want tank owner secretary general decarlo on miss brown for your briefings. mister president, we meet at the end of a new critical week for ukraine and its people. they struggle daily with massive disruption to vital power and water supplies. the result of continued attacks by

the russian federation on ukraine's critical civilian infrastructure. direct attacks and hospitals and health care facilities, places of care and refuge. many are now only partially functional or reliant on limited back a power. russian attacks have also hated residential buildings, killing civilians as they sleep. the people of ukraine are paying the ultimate price for a francis war, not of their choosing. while the world has called for peace, the russian federation has instead chosen the part of escalation in this war. across ukraine, we have seen explosive weapons including prohibited a cluster munitions being used and populated areas and against civilian infrastructure. landmines jeopardize and civilians, agricultural production, food security and safety monitoring access. ireland is concerned by the use of iranian, supplied unmanned aerial vehicles that bring that destruction on horror for the

streets of cave and elsewhere. there acquisition by russia would contravene security council resolution 2231. these attacks on civilian targets appear to have just one goal in mind to intimidate and terrorize the civilian population. they represent a blatant disregard for human life. they constitute a serious violation of international law, and they're simply unconscionable. we once again called in the russian federation to comply with the obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law. we order the russian federation to refrain from ford or escalation to take all feasible measures to prevent civilian casualties and damaged civilian infrastructure and to facilitate life saving him on a terrier access without delay. we have just heard how critical this is as winter approaches with the most vulnerable and creating society and turned just faced persons, women, children on the elderly, facing a particularly precarious future. mister president,

the people of ukraine have shown remarkable resolve and determination in the face of such brutal adversity. ireland stands with them today. as always, for our part, we are determined that the russian federation would be held to account for its hideous actions. there are rules even in war, and when those rules are broken, there must be accountability, accountability for the targeting of civilians for arbitrary detention human trafficking and conflict related sexual violence. in all situations where international crimes may have been committed, we most ensure a timely credible investigations are undertaken. that evidence is rigorously documented and witnessed witnesses, victims and survivors are supported. last week, the general assembly delivered a clear message of support for ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. this was not just about ukraine. what about protecting the principles and trying to un

charter, the very basis for our rules based international order to that same charter, the members of d's, united nations conferred on discounts. so the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace, unsecured, he, for exactly 8 months now, the russian federations acted with honor disregard for this responsibility. it continues to bring want and death and destruction to ukraine. true to legal war of aggression. to day i appeal to my fellow members of this council to assert our sponsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security to stand united in calling the russian federation to end this war and withdraw from the entire territory of ukraine. and to support all efforts a dialog on diplomacy to bring about defeat peace resolution on this conflict. thank you mister president. jeremy, i thank the representative of ireland for that statement. i now give the floor to the representative of garner. thank you president. i wish to begin my statement by

thinking understood kathy kidmore, rosemary decarlo and miss dennis brown, the united nations president humanitarian coordinator in ukraine for their importance, but suffering briefings on the him. any serious tuition in ukraine now, and it's 8 month, the unjustified aggression against ukraine. has been marked by overwhelming suffering, death and destruction. to many people, especially the women, children and the elderly continue to suffer needlessly from the fighting that has engulfed many cities across the ukraine. the humanitarian statistics as reported, are indeed concerning, but can only be expected to rise should the fighting continue in the way we are witnessing. it is also important to note the impact of the war on pre existing humanitarian situations in other parts of the world. well, food aid is largely supplied from ukraine. the growing threats of the use of

unconventional weapons and possible nuclear engagements have been the source of global uncertainty. dana calls for the dears, collation of tensions, the immediate cessation of hostilities and the intensification of diplomatic efforts to end the war. now, rather than later, when the cost of reconciliation and reconstruction would be unbearable. it is of utmost importance for the security council and the wider international community to forge consensus on concrete measures and pathways to stem the rise and asians and begin a political dialogue for settlement. we will come in this regard, the continuing leadership and pacific rule of the secretary general and hope that few that the gains can be made in the endeavors for a peaceful settlement. were grateful to the united nations, humanitarian agencies and their partners were working under extremely difficult and

dangerous operational circumstances. we pay our respects all humanitarian workers who have fallen while in the service to mankind. in ukraine. they are commitments and sacrificed to bring relief to the suffering. people must be matched by the international communities efforts in helping to end the war. we welcome the humanitarian aid support and contributions by some states and international agencies to see ukrainians through the winter season. food, water, shelter, one clothing, end medication would be critical to the survival of some 6 and a half 1000000 people. internally displaced by the war. we call in both parties to plant humanity when access to all areas where people require assistance and edge, the russian authorities in particular to grants unhindered humanitarian access into the occupied territories. as fighting intensifies, we deem it necessary for the new for new humanitarian caught corridors to be

created for the safe passage of civilians to ease areas, to areas of relative safety. we recall the faxes of the my report of our questions, an edge similar arrangements as a matter of agency. we condemn all human rights violations and we treat our support for independent, transparent, and thorough investigations of site violations including conflicts related sexual violence. the happenings in boucher and epin must strengthen, are resolved to hold the perpetrators of such acts to account and avoid impunity. the parties must refrain from targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure and other critical infrastructure. apart from imposing severe hardships on the people, the deliberate destruction of critical energy infrastructure, residential facilities, what's a stations? healthcare facilities, schools and transport infrastructure constitute gross violations of international

law. and the principles of international humanitarian law relating to armed conflicts, interests and mr. president, but retreats are complete commitment for the sovereignty, political independence and territory integrity of ukraine, and remained supportive of international efforts to alleviate the humanitarian suffering of the ukrainian people. i thank you, sir. m f c. i thank the representative of ghana for her statement. i now give the floor to the representative of the united kingdom lanky president. thank you again under say 3 general decala feel briefing the thank you resident coordinator brown. if you are invaluable update on the situation on the grounds and what the un team is doing in the toughest of circumstances. so far, this war has killed, maimed and psychologically damaged thousands of people. millions have been forced

to flee. ukrainian towns and cities have been reduced to rubble with evidence atrocities left behind in the ruins. we have heard unbearable stories of sexual violence. and the real objectives of the invasion has been exposed by russia, attempts to suppress ukrainian national identity and culture and illegally annex ukrainian lands. an act widely condemned by the un membership last week. unfortunately, and where the appalling situation appears to be getting worse. under the command of general surgery, soon can a man infamous for brutalities against civilians in syria. we have seen a renewed campaign of trade and miss el strikes. cross ukraine heavily populated areas have been hit as well as playgrounds traffic in russia. and

apartment buildings know in the front lines or military installations. the new wave embodiment deliberately targeted critical national infrastructure, leaving some 30 percent. if you cranes power stations damaged or destroyed. these with tax, when ukrainian civilians way of life and they are clear, breach of international humanitarian law. they are the judge in their own rights. but even worse as winter approaches, russian attacks mean ukrainians are losing their ability to heat their homes and cook their food. the intent behind these attacks is clear. russia is seeking to subjugate ukraine by terrorizing civilians and is doing so

using weaponry, obtained re run in violation of security council resolution $22.00. 31 now rush has been trying to distance distract us with attacks on the un integrity. it's mandate to investigate. but resolution 2231 is clear. it asked the general report to the council on its implementation and this extensive precedence, the site visits to consider evidence because the key issue is that wherever these drones come from, the use against civilians is barbaric. presidents rushes actions are illegal and immoral and they must come to an end. so once again, we call on russia to stop is this information misdirection and is accusations that the west is somehow responsible for its own forces. we call on russia to heat the

calls, the international community respective obligations on to international law and stone tax from civilians, energy and structure hospitals and health facilities. and we call on russia yes again to end this war and return to the path of dialogue. it's abandoned in february finally president. we recognize as others have the wider negative impacts of russians war the positive impacts of the black sea green initiative and global going places is clear and we've had more about that today. so we welcome to college efforts by the sector general to ensure the continuation of the agreement. you have the you case full for court. thank you. good a miss. i thank the representative of the united kingdom for his statement and i'll give the floor to the representative of norway. thank you,

president. let me 1st thank debris 1st for they are candid words to the council to day. their accounts leave no doubt about the devastation this war has brought upon the people o ukraine. norway will continue to stand when you're crane and the ukraine and people against this russian aggression, which is a gross why lation of international law, and the u. m chapter. we are alarmed by the escalation and brutality of the recent russian attacks on civilians and civil and infrastructure with missiles and drones . these attacks, which seems deliberate, have killed civilians and hit several power facilities across ukraine. damage to energy infrastructure, wings grade humanitarian harm, and will certainly cause illness and death when the cold winter, or rice. these attacks him now military purpose. the aim seemed to be to terrorize

the population. they are illegal and may constitute war crimes. those rips responsible must be personally held to account rushes, devastating attacks against cities and urban areas. over the last 8 months, have killed and maimed civilians including children and lead to massive displacement both internally and across borders. we are concerned about sexual and gender based violence and human trafficking, that women and unencumbered children are particularly exposed to we must facilitate their return the delivery of essential services and mitigate the long term effects that russia's war has imposed on them. president, the independent and national commission of inquiry has concluded that violation of human rights and international humanitarian law amounting to war crimes,

haven't been committed by russian armed forces, the killing of civilians, mass wave rape and other forms of sexual violence force, disappearance, and torture. have all been recorded along with reports of deputation to russia and adjustment to procedures to allow russians to adopt ukraine and children without the consent of their parents. and more. the victims deserve justice. survivors must be cared for, and those responsible must be held accountable. but to stop this grotesque violation in the 1st place, this war must come to an end. russia must withdrawing troop from within the nationally recognize border of ukraine and stop the war president. nor were also remain concerned by the money and accounted for prisoners,

a war and others who are missing because of this conflict. we call on the parties at all levels to comply with their obligation and their international humanitarian law. these include support for the international committee of the red cross in fulfilling their unique mandate as laid out in the geneva conventions, including visiting prisoners of war president we commend the international and national humanitarian responders for their bravery in delivering humanitarian protection and assistance to does he need it is critical that humanitarian actors have full, safe and unhindered access to all those in need. we are particularly concerned about the situation for the elderly discipline, disabled and children in conflict affected areas. precedent. while this war is raging, the world is facing a food crisis. continuation of the black sea grain initiative is weitel,

and we appreciate the tireless effort of the secretary general in times of war. we need the speaking of hope. thank good, a miss. c high. thank see the representative of no way for her statement. i now give the flow to the record state of the wish of aeration with mr. president with i would like to in the very beginning express my puzzle montoya to not entirely understand what is a value added other than extending the time of the meeting today is in including our list of the representatives for like a poland. germany increased. we do not have a degree to not a debate that we're having today, but a briefing on the position of those countries is very well known to us anyway. and they could very well be said that it could very well be summed up by their present of the you. there's nothing by their desire to show their faces and international

tv screams. i'm future mister president. we would like to be more careful when compiling the list of those who will be speaking on such a such meetings. mister president, we know the briefing provided by the our secretary of general rosemary decarlo and the new resident manager and coordinate. and you can miss denise. brett, president, coordinate in ukraine. miss denise brown. we can see the un secretary and has a high and medley become concerned with the topic of the civilian infrastructure, destruction. unfortunately, once again, this was a one sided picture. i wouldn't hear a word about the destruction. the key of has been for 8 years inflicting and continues inflicting and don boss. nor has we heard anything about the victims amongst civilians from the ukrainian armed forces. there was no reaction whatsoever by the secretary to the horrendous acts of terror by care of again to such civilian infrastructure as a bridge in crimea. there shillings all these upper osha and p p and they cut off

skin power plant with the need for the meeting today or western colleagues explained by the intensification of strikes against the ukrainian infrastructure. and so leon objects by the russians aside. all right, let's take a look at what the situation is actually like. in the past 2 months, pregnant regime and western backers who probably were a bit euphoric because of tactical movement of ukrainian of forces in some areas which was arrived at as a result of an astronomical losses in personnel and equipment have been re hashing . the idea that russia supposedly exhausted is material and people's resources and is just about to start losing on the battlefield. parallel to that, the ukrainian strategies with a backing from western masters have for a long time be using the terrorist of the methods of sabotage on the russian territory. there are many examples of that by the peacock that was a act of terror on the crimean bridge. on the 8th of october,

conducted by ukrainian special forces, 4 people died partially, the road was destroyed the road which she was supplied, so to the peninsula, food stamps, medicines, and either vital necessities. the grand officials, including the deputy prime minister, the head of the minister on digital transformation of ukraine. mikhail photograph and the minister will advisor garage and go openly save this crime. there were ecstatic announcements about that made on the official account of the ministry of defense of ukraine. and even though key was probably rained in by the western masters very quickly, and traditionally tried to shift the blame on russia. on the left, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine repair and meticulous bar in the internet video confirmed about what is behind the attacks against the crimean bridge. and belgrade ob list is key. here are his words which became available to millions of internet users. i quote 2,

if you ask me who blew up in crimea and belgrade, well, they privately, i will tell you then yes it's, it's us. and of course, after the 8 years experience don't bus, we know very well what the camp regime is cable off. we therefore decided to dampen the fervor of over reaching terrace in ki, i precision missile strikes and russian drones hit a large number of millet targets, including the objects of infrastructure which undermine the military possibility and the potential of the anti people zalinski regime. of course, this did not sit well with the west and they became hysterical and we, this is what we're witnessing loudly and clearly today of the meeting. obviously, as was the case earlier, they do not want to face facts and acknowledge that the civilian objects were only hit in those cases when the drills were targeted. right next to the car target by ukrainian territorial defense and therefore had to change their course,

or when the civilian objects were hit by your gradient era defense a couldn't intercept their targets. there are plenty of cases like that of a exist on video. anyone wants to look them up? just ok. rain today and it's western backers are trying to publicize it another fake about the alleged supplies into russia, of ukrainian drones and violation of resolution 20 to 3131 rear check. any attempts to involve into this dirty undertaken, the un secretariat, an example of that is the letter disseminated today. the letter from germany, france and u. k. which basically appeals to the secretary to violate. it's them article 100 of the doctor and the mandate they have in the presidential print of security council president note as 201644 january 2016. the united states went further and in their letter demanded the secretariat command,

an investigation which the secretary has no authority to do. this is an outrageous situation and we have provided our legal views in an open letter, which we descend. it had prior to this meeting today, and we expect that the secretary will provide us with a definitive confirmation that they will not intend to follow the instructions from western countries in violation of the charter and will not conduct, conduct any invent investigation. if experts of the you want to please western capital, nonetheless, start conducting a pseudo investigation basis. they are referring you to resolution 20 to 31. we can reconsider the entire package of our relationship with you and secretariat. because in this case, it will not be possible to call it an impartial, distinguished colleagues to show in the security council today is a smokescreen for the key of regime and is bankers the west is trying to paint the key of regime as an innocent victim of russian aggression which needs constant

military assistance. last week analysis were made about new supplies for cape of military goods. united states and the european union decided to choose those systems for specifically, which showed themselves to be most li, fell against the people of don bass. and the liberated territories of the united states will give clear of yet another portion of high mars or equipment and the high precision missiles m. 31 g m, all arrests and the ation anti radar missiles a g m. 88 harm. paris will give a key of yet another portion of cell, proport proposed propelled artillery. caesar with 155 millimeter caliber, 155 millimeter ammunition to key of is announced by germany. and the leadership of this country explained to them there on, on people that this is to help is alaska regime in protecting your crate. well, let's take a look why, how they're actually being used, according to dnr and ellen are on the.
