finances come with the officials, blame russia for the deadly incident in easton, poland. despite the main thing that a train in miss i was likely responsible. but as colon make see you turn on the is that killed. 2 people near the border with ukraine as will admit the mist, apparently came from thieves and defences and was not launched by russia as early as suggested. plus the south african lead and pull on the g. 20 good said countries from the continent into their ranks as africans

push for a bigger role. india politics. a hello. welcome to international rural question ally from there's just part of the our to have you with this. i'm melissa mommy. let's take a look at the 1st story. now, while the investigation into the polish massage incident is still ongoing, washington has already pin the blame on moscow regardless of the probes results. despite the fact that several western officials have admitted that the train and defense massage was the like the pools of the events that killed 2 people in east and poland. we're still gathering information, but we have saying nothing that contradicts president do does preliminary assessment that this explosion was most likely the result of ukrainian era defense missile. but unfortunately, my ended in poland and whatever the final conclusions may be,

the world knows that russia bearers ultimate responsibility for this incident. whatever the final conclusions may be, it is clear that the party ultimately responsible for this tragic incident as russia which launched a barrage of missiles on ukraine, specifically intended to target civilian infrastructure. ukraine had and has every right to defend itself. joe biden, nato general secretary stoughton berg. and on top of that, the polish president himself admitting that the missile was most likely a ukrainian air defense missile. it was not a missile fired by russia. russia did not launch this attack this attack, and this piece of weaponry did not originate from russia. ah, however, they argue that somehow this is still russia's fault. they argue that because the conflict is taking place, because because russia has engaged in air strikes,

this is still somehow russia's fault, even though russia is not to blame for this. russian did not launch this. this is not a piece of russian military hardware. and here is what we heard from the nature of . she basically admitting that what russia sat in the immediate aftermath of the blast was true, that this was not a russian action. here's what he said, no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack. and you have no indication that the russia is preparing offensive military actions against natal. the insolent will slightly caused by the ukrainian air defense me, san fired to the fens, ukrainian territory against russian cruise massage attacks. but let me be clear, this is not ukraine's fault. rashaw bears ultimate

responsibility and it continues it's illegal war against ukraine. now these words we heard from the nato chief acco, what was said by the german chancellor. he had similar conclusions based on the evidence he was presented with. here's what we heard from the german later guns class, just one thing is clear. no matter whose rock it it was, and for whatever reason it fell in poland. this would not have happened if russia had not started a war against ukraine cleaner. now what's interesting, i'm, is that even though ukraine has admitted that they did launch an air defense missile, they still insist this is not their doing, even though we have joe biden. and the nato chief and the german chancellor and the white house all confirming that this was indeed a ukrainian missile. the ukrainian forces and the ukrainian government still

maintains that that's not the case that this somehow was russia's doing. they are sticking with their original story that has been thoroughly debunked, even by their nato allies. and here's what we've heard from ukrainian officials sticking with their original story widely, de sac did, and disprove young and international new life. i have no doubt about the reports from the commander of the air force and commander in chief resolutions that it was not on missile and not a missile strike yet i have no reason not to trust them because i've been through this whole war with them. so this is an interesting case study of events that have gone on. we have a situation where a missile takes place a, an attack happens, there's a hit, people die, and immediately, all over social media, russia is being blamed for it. russia comes forward and presents the truth. meanwhile, western officials the look into evidence,

et cetera. and it comes to the forefront that russia was telling the truth the entire time. russia was being completely up, frank and honest. this was not their missile. this was a ukrainian missile that, that was unloaded, and even western leaders are now confirming that russia was completely upfront and honest with the world the entire time. however, we have ukrainian officials still sticking with their original version of the dance, even though western leaders aren't buying it. ukrainian officials still insist that somehow this missile that the world is acknowledging, came from you. gradient forces was a ukrainian weapon, somehow get his rushes doing so. it seems like this is an important moment sad to pay attention to how quickly western media and social media goes into an anti russian span. and how quickly are these deceptive claims can be de barm's and how certain forces will stick with disproven claims, no matter what. as long as it fits their anti russian narrative. let us take you

live now. the un security council is now meeting to mull over them if al crisis in poland, both of them has recorded 16631 civilian casualties, 601-5557 persons killed and 10 $1074.00 injured since the start of the full scale invasion of ukraine. the recent barrages will, alas, add to the horrific toll, the war. add to the horrific toll. the war has already taken. i must say it again. attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure are prohibited under international humanitarian law. the military dynamics on the ground continue to evolve. in the past week, the city of her son returned to ukrainian government control. heavy battles also

continue in done yet sc and low hunts regions. indeed, there is no end in sight to the war. as long as it continues the risk of potentially catastrophic spillover remain all to real. yesterday's incident in poland near the ukrainian border was a frightening reminder of the absolute need to prevent any further escalation. i wish to join the secretary general and extending condolences to the families of the 2 polish citizens killed in the incident. mister president, the ongoing bombardment of ukraine has already damaged and estimated 40 percent of the country's power generation capacity give has been hit hardest. most parts of the capital a now with electricity for 12 hours a day. as

a ukrainian government focuses on repairing damaged infrastructure. the united nations has made it a priority to ensure that most vulnerable, the most vulnerable receive winter supplies and services. more than a 185000 people have already received essential, basic winter supplies. humanitarian partners are setting up heating points near the front lines. some $525.00 generators were provided or being distributed to priority institutions, including hospitals, collective centers, and clinics. humanitarian access has resumed in the areas back under ukrainian government control, including in her son. however, it is still extremely difficult to reach people in need, in areas of the east and south under the control of the russian military and across the front line. mind contamination, particularly in areas close to the front of our control,

has recently shifted or putting more lives at risk impeding the movement of civilians and hampering humanitarian efforts. i remind the parties that international humanitarian law requires them to facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief. for all civilians in need. and mister president, the allegations of atrocities and human rights violations in ukraine during this war are extensive. today, i'd like to highlight grave concerns about the right safety and security of the youngest ukrainians. over 400 children have been killed and many more have been injured, lost their family members of enforced to leave their homes. according to the government portal, children of war, 279 children were considered missing as of 12 november are also

disturbing reports of force transfer of children, including of some under institutionalized care to russian occupied territory or to the russian federation. o h c h r has documented several individual cases including of unaccompanied children that a peer to amount to deportations to the russian federation in violation of international humanitarian law. o h. c, h are also continues to document other types of human rights violations. including 57 verified cases of conflict related sexual violence. 48 of these cases are attributable to russian armed forces and affiliated groups. 9 or attributable to ukrainian on forces and law enforcement authorities. the independent international commission of inquiry on ukraine continues its work towards accountability for alleged violations and abuses of human rights and

violations of international humanitarian law with ongoing investigations in and out of ukraine. the commissioners are planning another visit to ukraine before the end of the year. another issue of concern is the conditions of prisoners of war. i welcome the continued prisoner exchanges between russia and ukraine, including most recently on 11 november. i encourage the sides to continue releasing p o w's. i call on the parties to ensure humane treatment of prisoners of war in line with their obligations under international law. in particular, the 3rd geneva convention. i also call on the russian federation to grant o h c h r in i, c r c, unimpeded access to detainees. mister president, the extension of the black sea green initiative remains vital to help avert

a food crisis from millions of people. more than 10000000 metric tons of footsteps have now been moved under the initiative reaching or on their way to some 40 countries. the impact of the initiative extends far beyond immediate ports of arrival. helping to lower global food prices for fee key food commodities around the world. the secretary general has continued his engagement with all parties and support of the renewal in full implementation of the initiative. he has also emphasized his commitment to removing remaining obstacles, to russian food and fertilizer exports. these products are not under international sanctions, but suffer indirect impacts. it is important and critical to get them back to world markets. the sooner the better mister president,

the risk of nuclear incident in the context of the open hostilities and ukraine remains an unacceptable danger. and i wish to s echo the serious concerns expressed by numerous member states in this regard. the i e, a director general has recently brief this council on the organizations latest efforts, including ongoing discussions regarding this operation, nuclear power plant, as well as assessments of activities and materials at other sites and ukraine. the i. e. a has reported that in the coming weeks it will send nuclear safety and security mission to 3 more operating nuclear power plants, as well as to chernobyl at the request of the ukrainian government. i reiterate the imperative to avoid any military activity that could risk compromising the safety and security of any nuclear facility. mister president. since before the invasion

of 24 february, the united nations and many others, and the global community warned of the consequences of a wider war in ukraine for ukrainians. first of all, but also for much of the world. these fears have amply worn out. one significant casualty of the war has been the international collective security system. we have all pledged to uphold the damage to the structures built to resolve or manage tensions and conflict a significant making it in turn even more difficult to chart a path out of the hostilities in ukraine. there is only one way to stop the death destruction and division the war must end and it must end in line with international law and the un charter, as called for by the un general assembly. thank you mister president. i thank miss decarlo for her briefing on i'll give the floor to those council members will wish

to make statements. i give the floor to the representative of the united states. thank you, mr. president. and thank you under secretary general decarlo for your valuable briefing today. colleagues, i want to start by noting the tragic explosion that killed 2 people in poland near the ukrainian border. we extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of those polish citizens who were killed as president biden told president, due to last night. we stand with poland in this difficult moment and have offered our full support for and assistance with poland. investigation to determine exactly what happened with complete confidence in the polish governments investigation. and appreciate a com, careful, and measured response. while we still don't know all the facts, we do know one thing, this tragedy would never have happened,

but for russia's needless invasion of ukraine and its recent missile assaults, against ukraine's civilian infrastructure. the un charter is clear. ukraine has every right to defend itself against this barrage defend its sovereignty, defend his territorial integrity, the more than 90 missiles that rain down on key than other targets in ukraine have devastated civilian infrastructure. in fact, this may have been the widest scale missile attack. since the beginning of the war, now millions of ukrainians are without heat or electricity. we extend our solidarity to the ukranian people for the fall out of this attack and our deepest condolences for those lives lost. this is

a deliberate tactic by putin. he seems to have decided that if he can't seize ukraine by force, he will try to freeze the country into submission. it is hard to overstate how horrific these attacks are. when i was in ukraine last week, i saw 1st hand the tremendous suffering. these kinds of attacks and this war has wrought on the ukrainian people and europe more broadly. i know we've all seen the photos of cater crated playgrounds, bombed out hospitals, and destroyed homes across ukraine. but no photograph can capture the real lives affected, the real people suffering the immense human toll of russia's war against the fellow you and member state. i felt that toll when i spoke with the mother and keith, who had to hold her daughter's lifeless body bloody hand after

a russian attack on her apartment, building her daughter in her mother's words. just wanted to go to school. i felt that toll when i met with the humanitarian aid worker who was detained and tortured by russian forces. she was so traumatized that she could only share a portion of her as she experienced unable to put the rest into words. i thought that toll when i met a 10 year old ne molina who lived in a facility where displaced families were gathered to prepare for a bitterly cold winter of facility, which itself had once been hit and damage by russ russian missiles. i was there to announce more than more humanitarian funding from the united states to provide supplies and support, while russia prepared to weaponized the winter. i made that announcement in the dark during a blackout caused by russian attacks afterwards. i ass molina,

what she would do when the war was over. and i could tell that this was something that she had given some thought to. she said simply, she wanted to see her best friend who she had not seen since the start of the war. and i have to say, i wondered if she would some day see her friend again. colleagues, when i met with president zalinski, his message was simple. he seeks peace. he told me he seeks a just peace that is based on the un charter in his principles, which is what everyone in this council is here to uphold and defend. we cannot say the same for russia. as secretary lincoln has told his council, if russia stops fighting this war to day, the war ends. if ukraine stops fighting,

ukraine ends up. it is ukrainian civilians who are in danger. it this secret ukrainian civilians whose electricity grids have been targeted, who art sure how they will keep warm throughout the winter. it is ukrainian civilians who are suffering. there is one man sitting comfortably in moscow who can put a stop to this brutal, horrific war right now. this 2nd. but until he does, we must address not only the scale of the humanitarian and human rights crisis unfolding in ukraine, but also the continued spell over effects of this needless war. just look at the outside harm done by rushes, that exacerbation of the global food security crisis. colleagues, if you're looking for a practical way to lower tensions and help those in need,

it would be by supporting and securing an extension of the black sea grain initiative. according to the u. n's records nearly 500 ships carrying over 10000000 metric tons of grain and other food items have departed under this initiative. that's enough to feed tens of millions of people. the black sea grain initiative has help stabilize food markets with reports that prices have fallen to pre war levels. 2 thirds of the wheat exported under the initiative has gone to the global south of the deadline for renewing the deal is fast approaching . when i was in key, i visited a greenery and heard that farmers need this deal to be extended so they will have the confidence to plant their wheat and continue serving as a bread basket to the developing world. i could hear the desperation in their

voices, and i promised them that i would take their message back to the security council. russia must extend this essential life saving arrangement. russia must allow these ships to keep feeding the world. and i call on our fellow council members to make the same calls with the same urgency, to keep the deal alive. in the long run, the only way to ensure food supplies are not impacted furthers for russia to withdraw us troops stop the atrocities. and in the war but in the meantime, we're grateful for the efforts of truck here in the u. n. and sustaining and expanding this life saving initiative. and i hope sincerely that we can continue to strive with ukraine in the driver's seat toward a just and lasting peace. thank you, mr. president. i thank the representative of the united states for the statement. i

give the floor to the representative of albania. thank you, mr. president and thank you you as the, the caller for your comprehensive update. here we are with no need you any crane. and yet after 9 months of brutal war, we continued to deplore loss of innocent life, countless unnecessary fatalities. widespread human misery, massive destruction, food insecurity. and a world order a candle to its core in a normal life, 9 months is the period humans need to bring a baby to life. russia has used it to make a disaster of terrible proportions, including by making normal life impossible to all, including 2 babies born ukraine since the 24th of february. for what reason? for a dream that has turned into a nightmare for a miscalculation that has become an obsession. mister president, what some have feared and others had anticipated, happened yesterday. a miss i landed in a farm in poland,

killing 2 people. it landed roughly of the same time as a barrage of russian me sides attacked. boston ukraine. a full investigation is underway and we'll look forward to his conclusions. but this does not change anything to the core issue. for as long as this war goes, we will run the risk of spillover by accident or intention. this incident should be a stark reminder that those who engage in the path of unnecessary reckless exhalation will bear the consequences. we know, and the world knows the consequences of the war are not limited to ukraine, only, although has already complained about the effect of rushing the sides fired close to his borders. and parts of his 3rd story are experiencing power outages as a result of russian. the scientific grain in cities and vital infrastructure. we present our condolences to the families of the victims until the people of poland and ukraine. we reiterate our full and unwavering solidarity policy. just as with

other, every other natal member. let's make it clear. this is not a war between russia and nato, nor is it between us on the west. it has never been despite from its propaganda to justify its tobacco. it is and remains a war of choice to pure act of and provoke aggression. and tend to grab a territory. this war must and not extend. and russia started, or some of put an end to it. and this is long time. pause to the president yesterday, president lensky proposed the 10 point piece plan of the g. 20 summit in indonesia demonstrating leadership again by making clear he's prepared for diplomacy to and the in just an unjustified war. the plan includes about nuclear safety, food security, a specialty for war crimes. and the final piece reduce russia. the staggering response was left, but not surprising. another wave of the science,

it's biggest in the month targeting again, residential areas empower infrastructure in several regions of the country with the aim to destroy essentially deliveries such as electricity, water and gas for structure across the crane. as the winter gets colder, more than 7000000 agreements are left without power. and the simplicity in a critical condition. in this case, there was no error. it looks like more terror. unable to prevail on the ground rather decided to weaponized everything, including whether now with the intention to free the entire nation to submission. but it's seems they fail to understand that this fight in this fight. ukraine has nothing more to lose to hearing distance from ready to canyons has clearly made it impossible for us to win on the table to advance an incompressible to acclaim. mister president press decided to withdraw. it's true for carson. it was not the 1st of such sudden reversals that it's already this year from the surroundings of

give, no one including in russia, is buying anymore camouflaged language. the so called special operation cannot conceal if ya, school, and the retreat cannot hide the defeat. only a few weeks ago on the 3rd of september, criminal proclaimed person to be russian forever. now, a few weeks, natural, just turn to what it should be, never wiser dishes, and would be for russia to come to senses, seize all hostilities and unconditionally withdraw all its forces and military equipment from the entire 3rd of ukraine. i let me reiterate once more that any i'm extension of 33 by another state, resulting from the threat or use of force is a violation of the principles of you and charter international law and will not be accepted. mister president, the russian situation continues to violate and blatantly lawrence not law. he was either carla mentioned some key aspects of the violations. the use of nissan strome

6 for the weapons and probably the areas are probably be there by international law, including by binding resolutions of this council that russia has voted for. violations of human rights and international law. enforced is appearance and arbitrary. the tension of civilians, torture and ill treatment of both civilians and prisoners, cases of in conflict related sexual violence have been widespread and now are well documented. these gross violations will not go unpunished. victims from their family members seek justice and accountability reform. you continue to block the council, but as we have seen repeatedly unconvincingly including last monday, they will not managed to reach the decisions by the by the u. n. g a. another initiative to seek and ensure reparations and accountability. mister president, we reach radar sunk support for the black sea grant initiative. we trade our coal for its extension beyond 22nd november to keep the vital food supply line open to the rest of the world. its impact is known and felt worldwide. and i need this

isn't any other decision than extension would be a cynical punishment of those in dire need. the president let me conclude very money that the whole of the war is already frightening. with every day going on the whole of the heavier for all, for ukraine. first, for everybody, including for russia itself. in the course of the last 9 months, nothing is gone according to plan in ukraine. for the simple reason that the russian plan was wrong. the intention behind reprehensible and the reality has proved disastrous. it's time to change course. some of the guns pack and go home. talk piece now for i thank you. i thank the representative of albania for the statement. i gave the floor to the representative of france. monsieur placido when meeting talk to lady resources of russia.
