12:01 pm
a devastating civil war roughly there nearly 2 years ago. use the moment up to 7 pm here at moscow and 12 pm in new york with a un security council is having its meeting a details on that to come your way. short for the meantime by moscow says that un broken grain export deal is unlikely to remain feasible without russia's involvement. it's offered ukraine and folky agreed to continue with the arrangement despite moscow pulling out in response to a recent large scale ukrainian drone attack key. if an anchor had to put in place a transit plan for 16 cargo ships, as we understand, one of them has already been granted passage after security inspections. russia is clear that guarantees security is impossible. such a deal is hardly realizable and acquires unsafe prospects. the conflict is
12:02 pm
aggravated with the actions from the ukrainian side. they were going to break the deal. they were going to undermine confidence in the security that was previously guaranteed member. and so at moscow did request a un security council meeting monday. it's already in effect right now. it's following allegations that the ukrainian drone attack used a maritime grain, colorado for cover rushers, defense ministry. so as the intelligence obtained from the wreckage of the drones shows a part of travel through the lanes originating from the port city of odessa. but these are, donald court has been taking a closer look at what many are calling the conflicting attitudes towards that of the great export deal. and more so with a recent developments surrounding it, in particular, happen less outrage among western leaders. as russia holds compliance with a un agreements that was supposed to secure grain deliveries for countries in dire need, it's purely outrageous. it's going to increase to ration. there's no merit to what
12:03 pm
they're doing, the u. n. and go shaded the deal and there should be the end of it. rushes decision to suspend participation in the black sea deal puts that risks, the main export route of much needed grain and fertilizers to address the global food crisis caused by its war against ukraine. the e, you urge is russia to revert its decision, but listening to just one side of things doesn't provide the whole story for months . now, russia's warned that the green corridor ordeal would be untenable if the west and especially kiev didn't hold up their end of the bargain. and what happened this week? a drone attack on russian ships defending the grain corridor, allegedly carried out by ukraine with the help of british intelligence. taking into account the active terrorism committed by the kiev regime of the participation of british experts on october 29th this year against the ships of the black sea fleet in the civil vessels involved in the security of the great corridor. the russian side suspends its participation in the implementation of the agreements on the export of agricultural products from the cranium ports. although ukraine's
12:04 pm
leadership hasn't confirmed or denied involvement in the attack. kiev did to find the time to accuse russia of blackmail for its decision to suspend the agreement. but this recent attack is not the only reason moscow decided to back out. according to un statistics, the majority of grain being exported under this deal has gone to high income countries. only about 3 percent has gone to places like somalia and sudan, which are on the brink of a food supply catastrophe. it's come as no surprise that russia thinks it's outrageous to be criticized for suspending a deal that isn't even fulfilling its established purpose. washington's reaction to the terrorist attack on the port of savannah, i suppose truly outrageous. this happened because of the reckless actions might be training by just or in trouble. so to apologize for that, we are going across live now to a meeting of the un security council where russia is representative about salina bens. yeah. and he's a deputy dmitri polanski had been addressing those in attendance issues, for example, that of russia withdrawn from the ukrainian grain export deal. but also that have
12:05 pm
key of drone attacks in the black sea at the j. c. c, for its implementation. and they are still there. we look forward to welcoming them back as a full and active participant, as soon as may be in the fulfilment of the goals that we have all agreed and signed up to. the united nations is ready to address concerns. listen to suggestions from all sides. we've had many discussions as we approach the $120.00 day extension point on november, the 19th, which can be where the initiative can be renewed them con. today, emergency measures were taken to release some of the cargo from ukraine and ports. and to inspect some of the $100.00 also vessels. that a cued up and ready to go. we need to continue fulfilling our commitments and act in concert. as before, excuse me, our understanding is that initiative and commitments remain in force even during
12:06 pm
the suspension of rushes. participation. today 12 ships sailed out from ukrainian ports and 2 headed in to load food. all these ships were previously inspected by the full membership of the joint coordination center. one had itself through the corridor as an example. is the cardiac angel with $30000.00 tons of world food program, wheat for e. c o. p at another past inspection on its own with journey, the pun, jail, full with wheat, destined for yemen. and i've got to stop and the next wi fi vessel is on its way. so mr. prince and i have a simple message that says keep the supply line open that says keep this initiative in action lets us resolve our differences with all speed. this initiative is too
12:07 pm
important to fail. thank you very much. should have missed. i think mr. griffith for his briefing. i now give the floor to miss rebecca greenspan sister precedence your excellence his late gentlemen, will be to day in a context of acute and prolonged crisis. aware of the gravity of dissipation, the secretary general created the un global crisis response group on foot, energy, and finance in march of this year to deal with the impact of the war in your crane . in the developing countries, our national analyses were alarming in have not been proved wrong bein russia ukraine, 2 very important bread baskets for the world. as the war started, commodity prices that were already rising skyrocket in march,
12:08 pm
the f a your full price index record that it's highest level in history. the world was enough position to absorb this truck climate change. and the call, the 19 pandemic had depleted the capacity of most of the developing world to cope with external shocks. this was the perfect storm cascading crisis that led to cascading inequalities. as a result, according to our estimate over 1600000000 people in over 90 countries, wearing a state of severe will never ability to rise in poverty hunger and that this was the beginning of a cost of leven prices of global proportions. immediately the secretary generator
12:09 pm
general focused on breaking the vicious cycle of rising prices and inflation by advertising foot insecurity the mos urgent financial on the crisis. the secretary general's plan involve as very well have been said by martin briefly. the parallel implementation of 2 initiative, the black sea green initiative in the memorandum of understanding on promoting the unimpeded exports of rush on foot and fertilizers through the world markets. alongside turkey, a key player in this effort. as we all know, we signed the 2 agreements in the stumble on july, the 22nd. the impact of these 2 agreements has been made clear in a short period of time with massive global well for effects. grain
12:10 pm
exports from crane and the russian federation increased substantially. we exports from the russian federation report between july and september. while we export from a crane more done flood report over the same period of time, resulting a lower full price as in international markets and improved access to foot for humanitarian afters. over 3 quarters of all maize and wheat for human consumption went to the developing world, including 20 percent of wheat for the least developed countries. the year for your full price index has decline for 6 months in a row, by about 16 percent. according to world bang models,
12:11 pm
these decline may have prevented over 100000000 people from failing into poverty from falling into poverty. however, we are still below the volume stray debt by ukraine in russia for the same period in 2021. in uncertainty of the comp, integration of the black sea green initiative is now causing the prices to rise again at martin griffin. just said, just today, we'd futures, how rising by over 6 percent. furthermore, fertilizer prices are still 2 and a half times. there are 2019 level producing a fertilizer crime. whilst where farmers specially small
12:12 pm
halder farmers from the developing world are priced out of production. in north america, fertilizers represent only less than 10 percent of total production costs. whereas in west africa, it is over 50 percent, the international fertilizer hutsel station forecast. i big line of between 18 and 23 percent of fertilizers use in sub saharan africa this year. deal to these, we know that today's crisis of affordability may become more rose crisis of availability of huge proportions ovary. other staples like rice into it. therefore we have been focus in these
12:13 pm
days on solving the fertilizer crisis. getting access to fertilizer from the russian federation. cookie markets is an important part of this. we have dedicated a lot of efforts to find solutions to the constraints. we still have what we have called the chilling effect of the sanctions on the private sector over compliance reputation. i reason. market avoidance are still real obstacle transaction costs on the insurance premiums, financial payments, shipping cost and transport for rush on foot and fertilizer exports are very high, leading to continue high global foot in fertilizer prices. specific actions are bearing some results to our efforts. fertilizer currently store in
12:14 pm
ports and warehouse in european boards are being donated for whom i retired needs in africa, south east asia and latin america. with the direct engagement of wsp. we anticipate that the 1st treatment of fertilizers will depart for africa on the 1st week of november in relation to the you, and then forced to facilitate the unimpeded access to, for them, fertilizers from the russian federation. there has been very intense engagement with the u. s. d, u, the u. k. another countries and private sector actors who have issued critical qualifications in high level political statements. we will come these efforts. but even with clear exceptions on the sanctions, there is still a lack of where to be continued. specifically, the need to father clarify exceptions for food and fertilizers within the different
12:15 pm
sanctions regime. the need to address indirect constraints to for them for the laser gray, as well as improve the private sectors willingness to engage. we urge all parties to make every effort to resume and extend the black sea grain initiative and implement both agreements to their fullest the united nation is fully committed and will spare no efforts to continuing to work with all parties to ensure that we reached his goal. as the secretary donald setting his statement on saturday, we do not underestimate the challenges, but we know they can be overcome. thank you. jeremy. i think miss greenspan for her briefing. i'll now get the floor to those
12:16 pm
members of the security council who wish to make statements. i give the floor to the representative of the russian federation. this william, mister president, russia requested this meeting today, and this is related to the acts by the ukranian side in the, on the black sea, which create a direct threat to international peace and security. on saturday, the 29th of october at about 4 a. m. the armed forces of ukraine under the cover of the humanitarian green corridor, which was grated when the framework of the black sea initiative conducted massive aviation and see strikes on the vessels and infrastructure of the black sea of russia and 79. you a, these were used and 7 underwater you avi's. they were all destroyed and by the russian navy the ocean vessels which were attacked, we're used to,
12:17 pm
to ensure the safety of the grey and corridors so as to take food stops from ukrainian ports of russian specialists. found and raised the wreckage or were under water, you of ease and also conducted an analysis over the navigation mode modules. the hamilton am the canadian manufactured um the restored information from the memory of those shows that these are you. i v e s. word launched from their see shore in the area of, of the city of a desa. after that, they followed to the secure area in the green corridor, after which they changed their route towards ever stovall and russian crimea, in the coordinates of one of the way. these shows that the starting point was in the a c area in the security area of the grain corridor. and this could to me, in other, the drone was launched from one of the civilian vessels, chartered by
12:18 pm
a kia van, its western backer. so as to take the foodstuffs out according to the ministry of defense, the preparation of this act of terror was conducted by this key of under the leadership of british specialists. in the port of la chalk off in the nic alive or blister of ukraine. that attention was also draw to the fact that on saturday, in the sky, over the black sea close to crimea, an in intelligence you, a beam of the united states manufacturing, r q for the global hawk was noticed this and act my a key of is a gross violation of this double agreements of 22nd of july and basically ends is humanitarian dimension. every one sees clearly now that the ukrainian side considers the black sea humanitarian core door for a used military and sabotage purposes given. so this,
12:19 pm
so the russian side cannot guarantee the safety of civilian vessels participating in the black sea initiative. we do not what other acts of terror are being prepared by key of with the support over western sponsors. therefore, we are compelled to suspend the implementation of this initiative on the 29th of october for an unspecified period of time. and the directions in that regard have be given to our representative of the joint coordination center. in his stumble. despite of that, according to the information that were received, the work of the joint in coordination center, in stumble was continued without the participation of russian experts in particular . on $3030.00, 1st of october, the representatives in cherokee un and ukraine agreed. the passage of 12 vessels from ukraine, imports into turkey for from turkey to ukraine, and 40 vessels from turkey into the mediterranean. it is our view that the what was concluded in russia took in ukraine with you and endorsement on the 22nd
12:20 pm
of the black sea initiative is not to be implemented without us. and the decision made without us place is no obligation on us. at the same time, taking into account the facts of abuse of humanitarian corridors, and the basic fact that the black sea remains an area of hostilities. we cannot allow an unimpeded passage over vessels without our inspection. and we will have to undertake her our own measures to control the water was allowed by joint coordination center without our consent. we will provide details on our conclusions and our approaches to this in the very near future. the statement made by the western colleagues that we heard today when they say that our measures are a threat to food security asap. nothing else. so that other than an attempt to shift
12:21 pm
the blame the blame so to spare, the key of regime, which is allowed to do anything, even the most dangerous things by western backers. and this includes the nuclear blackmail i'm with is up at o g b p, preparing a publication with a dirty bomb. targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure including the crimean bridge and to repressions of the peaceful people on the territory on their control . how you going to whitewash your people when they feel complete impunity, and they used for terror and sabotage person, purpose of the humanitarian corridor under you, and guarantees what route or propaganda can you invoke? the fact is that it's a cable authorities and not russia are threatening the functioning of the corridor, showing how much they disregard any agreement, even a you $11.00. during the time the initiative have been a realized to 70 vessels were stopped on some removed because of this systematic
12:22 pm
violations of the navigation rules in the grain corridor and the attempts to involved in smuggling, in specially equipped to secret containers. the ukrainian social networks are openly discussing the opportunity as they do open was smuggling and to ukraine of weapons and fuel through vessels which are returning to ukrainian ports using the grain corridor. and we see the attempts to artificially accelerate the process of inspection of car doors within the black sea initiative. russia is being accused over provoking world, pun, hunger, washington and brussels are passing over in silence. the fact that there is sanctions of blocking the russian food stops $30000000.00 tons and $20000000.00 in $25000000.00 tons fertilizers, also free of charge supplies, 500000 tons of grain, $296.00 tons of fertilizer. we have been working in good faith to
12:23 pm
ensure that ukrainian food stuff can be taken out which only commercial basis is going not only not, not, not to the needy, as was proposed. and promised by guiterres, by 2 e and other countries through efforts by russian experts, the traffic was reached to was raised to impressive levels about 1000000 ton weekly m. at the same time, the progress on the russia you and memorandum to normalize the export above woodstove is nearing 0. such an approach. if something we should have probably expected, if you recall that it's the same delegation which did not allow at the end of july, it joined counsel product, welcoming both a stumble agreements and actively tried to delete from the tax the mentioning of the russian part of the package, we are surprised of that the you on leadership not,
12:24 pm
not only condemned but didn't have an express concern with the terrorist attacks used under the cover human and carrot or corridor this secretariat for us to a qualify the v. a grain, a great deal from humanitarian, true into commercial, and now is closing eyes to is being used for military purpose purposes. to say nothing about the fact that there are no specific results on the russian id. cultural export, which is of considerable import not world markets mr. president, the act of turns have estoppel on saturday is a step to undermine the deal for us. the ukranian side with refused to allow ships out through the corridor. we opened ourselves, tried to exert political pressure on. now they're using the grand corridor for military purposes. school in this situation compels us to introduce clarity to this
12:25 pm
. what is it that the beneficiaries over the black sea initiative want, if you want to ensure that there's food security, if you're concerned about the poorest countries, while everything is there to do that, between now and the end of the year, our farmers could to provide about 30000000 tons of brain 1st and foremost wheat and then bring this up to 50000000 tons. given the current harvest e one word in under conditions of a non working grain deal. we have already sent about $10500000.00 tons of rain to re thirds of them wheat 2 countries in asia, africa, russia is also ready to provide grey and unaffordable prices and to provide free of charge 500000 tons to the poorest country in 4 countries in the upcoming 4 months, as well as 300000 tons of fertilizers still detained in european parts. but if the goal is to not allow russian food stubs to get to world markets and to
12:26 pm
allow ukraine use a cover over the black sea deal to engage in smuggling sabotage and acts of terror . well, this is a completely different story. please choose which direction you want our dialogue to follow. i thank you miss you. a little bit of the miss. i thank the representative of the russian federation for his statement. i now get the floor to the representative of front with you mister president. let me see here we are once again meeting on the request of russia to witness one more episode in its dis, information campaign. once again, we regret that russia is using the security council as a propaganda platform. of the accusations leveled by russia this saturday, the 29th of october against the united kingdom and ukraine are based on no tangible evidence and are completely unfounded. they represent one more illustration of
12:27 pm
the russian strategy aimed at distorting reality and racking up its outs. outrageous allegations, this is a carefully crafted strategy to distract the attention of the international community from one very simple fact that is the sole and exclusive responsibility of russia in the war of aggression that it is waging against ukraine. in light of these new allegations, no one should be fooled by russia's aims for several weeks now, russia has been looking for a pretext to withdraw from the black sea grain initiative. on saturday we found out which pretext it has chosen to invent. well, mister president, the black sea grain initiative is a success. in this regard, we hale the secretary general's personal investment and turkey has contribution.
12:28 pm
the secretary general recalled this in his statement on last friday. 9000000 tons of grain and other foodstuffs have been exported since the 22nd of july by c one, the united nations food and agriculture organization. we confirmed that week prices had fallen as a result of the resumption of exports. everything must be done to ensure that this initiative continues. let's be clear as the stumble. the cords are having the expected effects by deciding to suspend its involvement in the implementation of these agreements. russia is choosing to impose food security and malnutrition on the entire world. and in particular, on developing countries that are highly dependent on ukrainian exports, it has deliberately chosen to use hunger as a means of exerting pressure and as a weapon of war. it is playing cynically with the fate of millions of people who
12:29 pm
will be affected by the effects of declining harvests in 20232024 president. this black male must end it is urgent that exports in the black sea continue. we called on russia to resume compliance with the agreements concluded on the 22nd of july, france will continue to support the efforts of the secretary general in this area. france will continue also to work with its european partners to implement the solidarity lanes which have enabled the export of almost $14000000.00 tons of grain under the foodstuffs. we will, with our partners, continue to make the necessary efforts to ensure that russia's lies cannot prosper . but like to conclude by recalling that russia cannot exonerate itself from its own responsibility for the crimes committed in ukraine over the last 8 months. they
12:30 pm
are indeed widely and well documented. thank you. i thank the representative of france for his statement. i now give the floor to the representative of india meals joy. thank you mister president. let me also join in thanking the under secretary general for commander and a 1st mr. martin. and the general of on that for the briefing on the black sea green, initiated like the president, the black sea green initiative and cooperation by the party sofa had provided a glimmer of hope for peace and green. the agreements a result of those credentials efforts were aimed to our global foot crisis and insured for security. the initiative had resulted in the export of more than $9000000.00 tons of grains and other foot products out of ukraine. we believe the experts had contributed to lowering the price of weak and other commodities. everything from the drop in the fail for the price index.
