5:12 pm
a clear provocations from kias in the week alone that preceded the announcement of mass evacuations and on boss in breach of ceasefire agreement, ukrainian armed groups launched against the territory. p. r. a nearly $100.00 munitions which have been prohibited under the men's agreements. furthermore, ukrainian soldiers received the direct instruction from the commander of the korean forces louis enough to open fire without agreement. on their own discretion, there were registered facts of drone thing used with ease to target strikes against the millions and the eve of the events. ukraine began to step up and strengthen its positions on the front, not only through it's soldiers, but also using weapons of mass destruction. kia was preparing for full fledged military operations on boston,
5:13 pm
which was planned for early march 2022. this became clear after the significant uptick and the escalation of the military, aggression of ukrainian armed forces said since the beginning of the military operation to liberate the area of the regions of dunbar. more than more facts have been uncovered. a large scale war crimes by the queen authorities, their numbers are increasing. as the progress is made towards the front line, there have been a been a tremendous amount of testimony from civilians showing that ukrainian armed forces have prevented civilians from evacuating the area of hostilities. people have been used as human shields, for example, the cities of mario polls on the huff and sally adar. when the ukrainian army retreated, there was a deliberate destruction of what survived during hostilities have referred to civilian infrastructure and homes in the year of the military, special military operation on the territory of the p. r. alone along the border from the beginning, a special operation,
5:14 pm
there are more than $15500.00 instances of the crayon forces to carry out of shelling. and more than $15000.00 of these included the use of heavy artillery, the adversary the pho launched against the republic. more than 100000 munitions of various calibers, including 39 to which co who i'm emissions more than 200. 20 high mars missiles more than 250 or got b. m. 27 oregon systems and more than 13222 m r less systems as well as more than 21500. 155 caliber shells since the beginning with june of 2020 to the ukrainian forces have been using anti personnel . mine's elect, a stock of mines or butterfly minds of the luther assisting the using these mines. ukraine has been remotely, a mining heavily, densely populated areas, and d, p. r. there have been more than 90 instances of or is it of residents coming upon
5:15 pm
these mines and having them blow up. this includes 9 children. one of the victims died in the hospital and many of those who have had to have limbs amputated in an attempt to generate a humanitarian disaster in the region. key of has been perpetrated terrorist attacks and provocations targeting key infrastructure in dunbar. specifically water and energy infrastructure has been targeted. as a result of this terrorist act, these terrorist act has been in complete and to the delivery water to the republic from the main artery, the northern done, done boston channel. the majority of d. p. r have been receiving water every 3 days for just a few hours, and the technical water is being provided and drinking water is being received by the residents in the form can turn assistance. there been mass instances of torture and execution of hostages in ukraine. civilians in areas under key of control have
5:16 pm
been suggested to political persecution, repression ending ideological groans by the intelligence forces. these actions are cynical and in so doing ukraine has not only violated all existing norms and standards of international humanitarian law, but also has been demonstrated contempt for the most basic principles of humanity, humanism and mercy. and this low of neo nazi hatred has engulfed both the residence of the people's republic of dunbar, as well as the citizens who from the very beginning of the special military operation, had been residing in territories under key of regime. i repeat what i stated just now is that the text part of the text, good part of the briefing that should have been delivered by diameters of this is effectively a direct statement from the residents went on boss, which people in the west are absolutely trying to disregard and for the sake of saving their lives. a little over a year ago, the special military operation was launched for my part,
5:17 pm
i would note that in the recent months we have once again seen the terrorist and inhumane nature of the cameras team on to march and ask in the russian federation, members of the ukrainian armed forces perpetrated a terrorist attack during which they attacked a vehicle transporting 3 children to school. they killed a driver. they wanted an 11 year old boy, sure that he none the less was able to extricate himself from the vehicle. he helped to 1st grade girls leave the vehicle as well and for the 3 children, then for the terrorist, much sought to find shelter in a neighboring hedge. the wounded wounded boy demonstrate himself to be without a doubt or real man. this cannot be said about the ukrainian fighters who have been firing at the backs of children who were fleeing into the forest attempting to and then this was in an attempt to leave no witnesses of the sabotaged groups. and the ukrainian nationalist battalions are firing at russian speakers in the cities have
5:18 pm
been boss attempting to pass this off as crimes perpetrated by the russian army. and there's a great deal of such evidence that has already been gathered by our investigative body. this is a deliberate planned attack against the residence of, of villages which has no military facilities. in other words, this is a real terrorist attack. the perpetrators of this participants. it's kind of some kind of a mythical russian voluntary corps, are units of the ukranian armed forces for and legion operating from following the orders of the ukrainian military leadership. the ascii regime has been attempting to distance themselves from this sabotage because these crimes are so apparent. however, the leader of the sabotage group announced that this action was agreed upon with the care regime carried out with its direct assistance. incidentally, this character is a well known including in europe neo nazi and racist who has been prohibited from
5:19 pm
entering the european union. it is hardly surprising that to live with others, with these kinds of views. he felt himself to be completely comfortable in ukraine, and with impunity perpetrated his crimes with approval of the clear key of leadership. it is not really clear what through such cold blooded murder of children, the key every team is attempting to achieve to increase support from the west. if the west, it was willing to support this regime carrying out such egregious snacks. then this is the same price crime that the west would not be able to hide with his maniacal and vain desire to secure the defeat of the russian federation on the battlefield. we, on the whole, have heard a great deal of testimony about how western states are directly involved in the conflict, not just through the provision of weapons to ukraine, but also by directly participating in that the direct participation of the military specialist. for example, there was a revealing evidence that was provided to the russian law enforcement body by a former american soldier, enlisted in the so called ukranian,
5:20 pm
who foreign legion and the national battalion, the carpathian wip john mcentire documents, maps and other information provided by him. and they confirm the direct coordination of the actions of ukrainian armed forces on the battlefield with u. s . military and intelligence agencies. this evidence will under pen the legal assessment of the level of engagement and participation of foreign officials in the crimes perpetrated by the key of regime against civilians. with mister mcentire also described the abhorrent crimes and torture perpetrated against person prisoners of war at the hands of ukrainian groups. these and other this and other evidence of our was something which our opponents imagining some kind of russian crimes will simply disregard. however, ukrainian and western status and criminals will not be left without punishment in russia. there's already an intern at an international communal tribunal that is in operation. and good luck is collecting witnesses heck,
5:21 pm
him testimony and documenting this and their preparations to establish and launch a, an international tribunal that is rooted in international law and not a rule space or to which the collective was devised to advance their own interests . and for the following example of the shots fired at russian children and beyond. sco bless, we can understand how the regime treats children given the reckless and aggressive policies and they, inhumane policies are the cranium authorities. now the heads of dpr and lp are in the beginning of the special operation for 2022 adopted a decision to evacuate civilians including children to the russian federation of 27, february 2023. from the beginning of the special operation, the russian federation was the destination for approximately 4004500000. the evacuees from approximate income, including approximately $690000.00 children. the overwhelming majority of the
5:22 pm
evacuated children who are reached. russia were accompanied by their parents, custodians and guardians. in this connection, we displayed this me by the speculation about to the alleged no large numbers of unaccompanied children in the russian federation. russia during, as part of our bilateral cooperation with which the char, with unicef, and with the i c, r c, has been providing credible information about measures undertaken by our country to prevent the violation of h. l against children in order to pro and speculation about this, which has become a beloved subject of propaganda and key in the west than early april. we will organize an informal security council aria for la meeting on this issue. mr. president, many here today touched upon the subject of the black sea grain initiative. and if we are to more accurately the package deal extension of which for 60 days in a 60 day extension of which could be carried out tomorrow. and to conclude,
5:23 pm
i wish i was to conclude with detailed information about our position in this regard and you're on 22 july last year inter came to package, namely interlinked agreements were signed. the 1st point at that point was designed to address the humanitarian objective of providing food to starving people throughout the world. this was signed by russia, turkey, and ukraine to export food and fertilizer through 3 black c port. that is, the 2nd package was signed between the russian federation. the was a good period to help to facilitate the russian food products and green, reaching the global market. and this is specifically what our colleagues are western colleagues obstinately wish, not to notice avoiding even any mention of this in the council products. there is not an iota of a mention of that being me. returning to the implementation of the so called green initiative, the purpose of which is to facilitate the export of grain from ukrainian ports. we like many others. how many questions?
5:24 pm
the main question is as follows. why did it suddenly transform from a humanitarian initiative chill, commercial one? and this is specifically what statistics show also highly contentious is its impact on global food prices. the poorest countries with her receive not $66.00 or 65 percent of the products. contrary to what was said here today in this chamber, but merely approximately 3 percent of the super good. mm. specifically, according to the data from young, despite the fact that food prices have fallen from record high in early last year to 2020 data. only 20 percent, no more than 20 percent of $21.00. 2021 levels. domestic problems are also worsening. developing countries in this, as a consequence of a local currency did valuation, and this is against the backdrop of the us dollar, gaining strength and 1922. who do you think is benefiting from this situation? the main beneficiary of growing food prices and the disability stabilisation of
5:25 pm
supply chains are the leading western agro corporations. if i am talking about the so called big for the american archer daniels, midland grunge and cargo, as well as the dutch louis dreyfus, which account for 75 to 90 percent of global trade for the agro industrial complex. in 2022. cargo alone increase in sale volumes by 23 percent. to 100. $65000000000.00 reaching or record. net profits of $5000000000.00. what bonuses were developing countries? what are the bonuses for developing countries here? parents, technically, let's not forget about the fact that as a result of the unbridled of the uncontrolled food experts from ukraine, this country is liable to itself, encounter significant hunger,
5:26 pm
which many experts talk about with the russian experts have also talk about this and this includes the question of western companies, seizure of black sea crop plans in that country where the past 10 years, the number of these for the amount of these lands that fell into the hands of foreign as now under foreign control. surpass 4000000 hectares or 10 percent of all fertile lands. moreover, their attempts to conceal in these processes the indians processor, a part of an attempt to advance a traditional monitor of russian aggression and accusations against our country of creating a food prices of provoking growing food prices is of course complete lies. but even in the european parliament resolution access accessibility of fertilizer in the us dating 16 february, it's explicitly said that high prices and the agro sector has been observed over the past 2 years. and moreover, this is not prevented brussels from provoking and generating additional risks. and
5:27 pm
food security for poor countries through new anti russian restrictions. mister president, the memorandum is simply not working. it is it being beneficial for developing countries or something? nobody truly cares about. ultimately, the un through official representative, the secretary had to recognize that the organization has no leverage to exempt from russian agricultural export operations from western sanctions. once again, i stress, and this is a situation that has adversely been affecting not to russia, our economy, to the dismay of our western adversaries is steadily developing but effecting adversely, the developing world. but to all of this concerned about down the state of concern of you from western colleagues is mere words never to the secretary general have not generated results. and we cannot accept that either. with this connection, 13 march, 1st 2 and 2 paragraph. each of the charlotte agreement we officially informed to
5:28 pm
know that turkish and ukraine size that we didn't object to extend the following 18 march. it's operations for a period of 16 days. that is until the teen may further steps, will depend on progress in addressing the issues which we have highlighted to conclude if brussels, washington and london are genuinely interested to continue the export of food from ukraine through the maritime humanitarian corridor. and this is it, and they have 2 months to exempt from their sanctions, the entire chain of operations which accompany the russian agro bag or cultural sector. otherwise, we fail to understand how the package concept of the secretary general admissions will work through the sample agreement. you can conclude mr. president with a few of you, i turn to the order on by the i c. c that was mentioned here today. the warrant. this is a prejudiced political bias, non competent in international body,
5:29 pm
which has once again demonstrated how damaging and invalid it is. the i c. c is a puppet in the hands of the collective west, which is always willing to carried out to pseudo legal pseudo jurisdiction based on their borders. what is particular, cit, cynical, is that legal invalid rulings were disclose on the eve of the anniversary of the u . s. invasion into iraq, where the i c, c had jurisdiction, but did absolutely nothing to bring the perpetrators to account the russian federation is not to party to the rome statute. the i. c. c. last jurisdiction piece of the russian federation of citizens considered. we consider any body any warrants from these than from this body as illegitimate and invalid, and null and void on all indicators i. c. c has really taken the path towards self liquidation, 1st and foremost with respect to its authority and international recognition. and
5:30 pm
are we, this is an obvious judgment and i will approve of providing a quote of the us adviser on that was national security. john fulton, dating 2018, was rude. he said, we will allow the i c, c to be independent ultimately in every respect, it is not there. thank you. are good. the representative or the welcome back, which been listening in life to the russian envoy addressing the un security council who highlighted again house and within countries of reaping substantial profits from weapons sales and the conflict with ukraine. and therefore, find the conflict is too profitable to wanted to end any time soon. he also spoke about how western countries continue to ignore kiev. shelling of civilians in dunbar and hopkins in 2014 and russia could no longer ignore those atrocities something he's reiterated again and again, over the past year. now ukraine is sorry meeting all that russia also said russia
