russia does not hesitate to instruments. leis, food insecurity and malnutrition. the fate of millions of people depends upon the extension of the stumble at cards. after having 1st of all, suspended for several days, its participation in the black sea green initiative. russia is now looking to use its agreement to the renewal of those cards as a bargaining chip. this blackmail is unacceptable. everything must be done so that the exportation ukrainian green can continue without obstruction. we call upon russia not to hinder the renewal of the 22nd of july a cause france will continue to support the efforts of the secretary general and of turkey. in this regard, we will also continue to rally with our european partners as part of the solidarity lane's initiative, these solidarity lanes have allowed. yeah. exploitation via waterways and over land, around $15000000.00 tons of grain for that food products. i recall that the

3:37 pm
those injured and killed. in yesterday's incident. while we await the outcome of the investigation, we should be clear that this is a tragedy that indisputably stems from russia's illegal and unjustified invasion and its inhumane assault on civilians across ukraine. yesterday, as present zalinski was setting out to the g 20. his 10 point plan for peace in ukraine, ukrainian civilians were facing the largest barrage of russian massage and drone strikes since the 1st week of the war. we extend our condolences to the ukrainian people and the families of those injured in these attacks.
3:38 pm
russia's systematic attacks on ukraine's critical national infrastructure have left millions without electricity, heating, water, medicine, and food. as temperatures start to drop below 0. and more than that to day, we've heard again from the un, detailed reports of civilian deaths, sexual violence, and forced deportation of children. russia is knowingly trying to gain military advantage by creating desperation. attacks of this kind may violate international humanitarian law, aren't out and are in any event, deeply in humane precedent. on monday,
3:39 pm
the general assembly adopted a resolution on an international mechanism for reparations for damage loss and injury arising from russia's internationally wrongful acts against ukraine. this was an important 1st step towards justice for ukraine president. we are in no doubt that ukraine will prevail in the face of russia's aggression. the liberation of her son shows the strength, courage, and determination of the ukrainian people to defend their right to sovereign equality and territorial integrity guaranteed under the un charter. and the u. k. will continue to stand by the ukranian people. but while the war is ongoing,
3:40 pm
we must continue also to manage its wider effects as best we can. that is why we strongly support the black sea grain initiative. it has been vital in helping alleviate the serious risks of food insecurity in the world. and we strongly support the u. n. in the efforts to renew it. president, fundamentally, this war is the result of unilateral action on the part of the russian federation. the path forward is therefore simple. russia needs to cease hostilities. withdraw from within ukraine's internationally recognized borders. and commit to a path of dialogue. thank you. i thanked the representative of the matter tindles for the statement. i give the floor to the representative of the united
3:41 pm
arab emirates. thank you mister president. first, the united arab emirates extends its heartfelt condolences to poland for the 2 civilians killed in yesterday's incident. the news of missiles hitting polish territory and the increases and strikes across ukraine seemed to signal the frightening escalation. many of us have talked about in this very room. it perfectly demonstrated the fact that as the fighting continues, each day becomes a gamble in which there cannot be any windows. mister president, the humanitarian situation in ukraine is a source of profound concern with winter's onset 40 percent of the country's power system is report at the damaged and 30 percent of its power stations are destroyed . potentially compounding the humanitarian crisis, with a lack of heating around the world. governments continue to warn of the wars consequences on the global food supply most recently, at the g. 20 summit in indonesia, in addition to the export of grains,
3:42 pm
the supply of ammonia and fertilizers, which are crucial to ensure adequate crop yields for next year's harvest, are also a priority. as the satcher general has said, we cannot let this years crisis of affordability become next year's crisis of availability. we joined the coal to renew the black sea grain initiative, and we urge the stakeholders to reach a solution that ensures the extension of these agreements. a critical break through for which we are grateful to the un enter kia. similarly, we commend osha and the other humanitarian actors for their tireless efforts to provide ukranian civilians with essential supplies, including the recent convoy the southern ukraine. as humanitarian assistance and efforts to renew the grain initiative continue, we must acknowledge that this is not enough. only a sustainable and peaceful resolution of the war will put an end to the suffering it has caused. we are encouraged by the recent public statements discussing the
3:43 pm
contours of a possible peace agreement. this council must play its part to support any efforts at talks, and we must focus on measures that can bring the sides together rather than further apart. mister president, last month marked the 60th anniversary of the cuban missile crisis. back then pragmatic and inventive diplomacy brought the world back from the brink public statements, which counseled come and restraint in response to the news from poland. and which to emphasize the need to establish facts on the ground, helped avoid further escalation within the last 24 hours. but the overall episode was an unnerving warning of the risks inherent in the continuation of the war. this cannot be the new normal too much is at stake, not least of which for ukraine. we recall here the statement that came out of the g 20. we must have holes international law and the multilateral system. defend the un
3:44 pm
charter. and here to international humanitarian law, beginning with urgently needed de escalation, we must encourage confidence building measures and open channels of communication to end this conflict. and to ensure that today's era is not an era of war. thank you. i think the representative of the united arab emirates for the teaching and i give the floor to the representative of medical. yes. yes sir, president i and i was him. the miss aisles that i fell yesterday in. poland in independently of their origin or a year, whether it was intentional or not, or a source of great concern darby and would like to express our condolences to the families of the victims who died as a result of these unfortunate events. this incident yada reminds us that the risks
3:45 pm
of an expansion of this conflict are real and they are not required and force us to increase our efforts to find a diplomatic solution quickly to put an end to the suffering of the civilian population in the entire region. i would like to refer to for my points. first of all, i'd like to mention the humanitarian situation. in addition to the damages accumulated during the 9 months of the conflict, now we have the destruction of the electric infrastructure just as a and the beginning of winter. the lack of electricity compromises many other basic services just yet i will give an example of the supply of water and all this, of course it puts that even greater risk. the life and health of millions of civilians thought away. if the deterioration of living conditions will continue,
3:46 pm
there'll be a new wave of displacements at a time when host communities are already at the limit of their capacity and worry about all the figures are quite eloquent. in 7800000 ukrainians have had to abandon their country. well, another 6000000 when have become internally displaced. only in this context, humanitarian assistance has become essential for the survival of especially the most vulnerable population, like to reiterate or appeal to allow unrestricted access to all civilian population, including the areas where the occupied areas, the blessings that are occupied, where martial law has been degree now although it is perhaps less obvious, the conflict has also had very severe consequences on the mental health of the population out there in more than $400.00 damian,
3:47 pm
children killed and some 270. they disappeared. our mother, quite a very well tragic demonstration of the pain in that this war is causing. so now we have mexico. would like to reiterate how important it is to include the psycho social support services in the human i turned response strategy. the consequences on mental health will not end when the conflict finishes, which is why it will be essential to develop a long term strategy to deal with this dimension of the conflict with your federal yahoo, a dimension, a lot of that is both silent and painful. secondly, i'd like to mention the issue of nuclear safety and security, the situation around the apparition, nuclear power plant continues to be a source of great alarm. i would like to reiterate the appeal to establish
3:48 pm
a protection and security zone around the plant, or as has been proposed by the international atomic energy agency. mexico knowledge is the work of the i. e, a, in a particular for the verification of the 3 sites on which one of the parties had some doubts regarding the activities that were taking place there. if you're from him a while, we'd like to take note of the fact that the agency concluded that there is no evidence of any nuclear activity or non declared materials, but we will continue to follow very tentatively the results of visits. the other. the other 3 nuclear power plants, including chernobyl in the next few weeks, your while there is no doubt that the situation in, in this apparition power plant is critical. it's also important to underscore that during a conflict such as this one, all nuclear facilities could become
3:49 pm
a disaster for the population and for the environment. although latin. thirdly, i'd like to refer to the black sea green initiative. this, as has been stated here, has been essential to help but mitigating food in security that mainly affects developing countries. and i mean, this is why it is essential that this initiative continue and that the agreement signed to facilitate access to global markets of food products and fertilizers from russia is fully implemented, including ammonium diety, we would like to recognize that the efforts of the secretary general to eliminate the huge amount of obstacles that the exports of these products have encounter lane. these agreements have been a sign of hope for those who believe in dialogue and in diplomacy as
3:50 pm
a ways of reaching a solution of conflict. in spite of the multiple disagreements, murphy, that often appeared to be almost insurmountable. lastly, mister president, i would like to mention that is extremely important to make progress and international investigations to ensure accountability and those that have committed crimes. in this conflict, who has your, it must, i wish you must be brought to justice. the international community even owes this at least this to the victims and to their families made answer. this is why we will continue to follow mal, very tentatively, the work that the international criminal court is conducting on this point. in conclusion, i'd like to reiterate that mexico and would like to insist on the need to explore new formulas that would promote mediation and dialogue. going to put an end elected
3:51 pm
as war. mister president, wave of mexico, like to reiterate it, support up to the sovereignty. young, independent and territorial integrity. thank you. if you didn't, i think the representative of the medical for the asked agency. i give the floor to the representative of kenya. thank you mister president. i thank and as a general rosemary to color for her briefing, give the floor and a briefing we have had today. thank you. next it clear. i thought the war in ukraine general continues to cause extreme suffering to civilians and everything far beyond what acceptable. and that international law that the war and international humanitarian loan is to cause extreme suffering them to civilians. far beyond what is acceptable and that international law and international humanitarian law. we offer our condolences to all the families and communities that
3:52 pm
have lost loved ones to these war, including in the incident that happened yesterday in poland. we pray for the speed recovery of those injured and trauma days. we are gravely consigned by the persistent targeting of civilians and objects indispensable to their survival, including residential homes, health facilities, shelters, as well as energy and water infrastructure. this war that follows on a long term political conflict is a violation of ukraine's territorial integrity. and constitutes a breach of the fundamental principles of the un charter. the military alliances forming on either side are giving the war i regional and global footprint. there is
3:53 pm
a bit of collision to the use of weapons of mass destruction. so i guess the ultimate inability over clear military victory at a cost that is acceptable to humanity. there is no long term military solution. all that a continuation of the war will do is delay negotiations when even greater damage. he's happening kenya. therefore, once again, calls for an immediate decision over still it is. negotiations will not be easy, especially if they are to be fully in line with the un charter in protecting this over entity. and that is total integrity of ukraine. but they can succeed as others have in your, in europe's volatile history. it would also be critical that they be accompanied or followed by a broader segment that stabilizes what is now
3:54 pm
a profoundly compromised european security order. mister president, the world needs peace in grain. and in europe, they maintain cost to the people of ukraine, i joined by those of millions around the world. we continue to applaud they mentality, uninspired, and new and facilitated black sea grain initiative. we strongly add for his renewal on permanent town, the flow of grains and for the allies as from ukraine, over the black sea, and also from the russian federation of the land corridors. must be assured, unfortunately, the as tail unilateral lucky just for food and for the lives of products. despite the frequent assurances to the contrary with the up or i,
3:55 pm
the secretary general to i generally under take an assessment of official and unofficial blockages. and to make that report available to the security council, the same should be done by human tenant organizations, such as the world world food program. we all st. gary regional organizations such as the european union and africa and the african union to reveal and report on the experiences of their member states in issue adding unimpeded exports of ukrainian and russia, ford and fertilizer. to wild markets. our region, their own of africa, is experiencing there was a drought in decades. we cannot afford to pay for exceedingly expensive at eliza. if we are to avoid. i was food insecurity situation. in the coming year.
3:56 pm
we must move from political assurances of the open flaw of these battle goods and transparently and vigorously says and report the facts on the ground. millions of lives depend on this august. how's going beyond rhetoric and guaranteeing practical effects? mister president, the crisis presents an opportunity. africa is the most for the secure region in the world. yet it has the largest amount of and they used terrible land with a population that is still mostly rural. best to many african families use a disproportionate part of their incomes on purchasing food. it is a major component of the political stability that sadly leads to the continent having the most conflict situations being handled by the security council. we
3:57 pm
now have a stroke opportunity to put in place financial risk mitigation technology transfers and investments to transform agricultural productivity on the continent. when we commend they maintain efforts being made to offer a live target must be sufficient production the efficacy of the continents corporation agreements with other regions. and major powers should be judged by the extent to which they lead to aside in africa, production of food and fertilizer. so that is never again as vulnerable as it is today. he's the president, the more protect retracted. this war is the more it's malign effects will spread. as more cit sent, suffer in law countries. the are political demands may lead to less worldwide solidarity with the suffering people of ukraine. every country calling for the
3:58 pm
solidarity must look into its conduct when it comes to a nebling, the free flow of food and fertilizer products, and act with compassion and empathy for those who need them around the world. in closing, kenya, once again, it's, it's respect for this over entity, territorial integrity and political independence of ukraine. i thank you. i thank the representative of kenya for the statement. i give the floor to the representative of india. mister president, let me begin by thanking under secretary general rosemary carlo for her briefing an update of the situation in ukraine. india continues to remain concerned about the situation in ukraine, including the targeting of civilian infrastructure and the death of civilians. since the beginning of the conflict, india has consistently called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and for an end to the while. and we've called upon both sides to return to the parts of
3:59 pm
diplomacy and dialogue, and have also expressed support for all diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. we thus stand ready to support all efforts aimed at de escalation. india prime minister has said unequivocally that this can not be an era of war. we hope that the international community will continue to respond positively to the cause for humanitarian assistance. india has so far despatched 12 consignments of humanitarian aid to ukraine and stands ready to do more. mister president, i will also state that the impact of the ukraine conflict has not just been limited to europe, the global south, especially facing serious economic consequences. we are also seeing growing concerns on energy and food security from the conflict that followed the severe stress created by 2 years of the corporate pandemic. in so far as specific
