suffering from the conflict and the consequences of not being able to deliver assistance to the millions of people affected by the funding in these areas of potentially catastrophic and done as yet unmeasured. we stand ready to do everything we can to ensure we reach all those who've been affected. i need assistance, but this wouldn't be easy nor straightforward. we're extremely concerned about people in affected areas that we are currently unable to reach and we're operationally ready at any time to move with interagency convoys and the aid personnel interruption controlled areas as well. those are affected by these events of the day. mister president, the people have ukraine, have shown extraordinary resilience, origin to monitor and task is to continue to help them to survive and then to be safe, and then to get the future. and we will do the so in all terms,

the best of our ability and we stand ready, of course to keep the counselor at rest of any developments. thank you very much. i . thanks mr. griffith. for his briefing. i now give the floor to council members who wished to make statements. i give the floor to the representative of the russian federation who was put in mister president's, but it's evicted on the 9th of june 6th. and this is to where you and the key of regina committed and i'm think of a crime exploring the damn the hook of how true electric power plant resulting in an uncontrolled discharge of water downstream on the number of river settlements and flooded with thousands of people are in need of evacuation and that if actually she was already begun, colossal damage husband delta, the agriculture of the region and the eco system of the near for estuary. so 200 besides the leadership of the armed forces that ukraine had openly declared their

readiness to blow up this dam able to gain a military advantage as far back as last year. here is a direct quote from an article in the washington post date of december 29, 2022. listen closely for giving you a major general schedule to consider joining the river. the ukrainians, he said simply wasn't even conducted his group a test strikes with a high mars launcher on one of the floodgates. and at the end of a couple of cut them making 3 holes in the metal to see if the neighbor's water can be raised enough to send me russian crossings is but not flood nearby villages issue the test was a success or troubleshooting side is either going to put the step remains or last resort, he held off a few of cuz end of quote. so to, as we have warned, with the international community and folks young leadership about the stretch, at the end of october 2022, we circulated as an official document of the un security council. and

a note from the permanent mission this on want to use click here for his plans to destroy the kafka, h p, p. we regret that our causes the secretary general to do everything possible to prevent the support, fine crime. we're not really here to able to do this time the kia version and something that we fall into unity and with the encouragement of its western backers decided to carry out of the terrace plan. convincing anyone this was the, the premium conflict. it was originally of the results of unprovoked prussian impressions becoming increasingly difficult. today only the united states and the closest allies still try to deny that ukraine's western western pain or patriots have long and purposely been preparing ukraine for war with russia. after the entire constitutional, my done little who does last misleading during the 9 year war, to my daughter authorities with their russian speaking population in the east and south east of the country for

a war that claims thousands of civilian lives and ending with today's good was the primary purpose of the russians special military operation, ukraine. we are already seeing go to the new, a coordinated information or rather just information campaign. but we are hearing statements coming from the west and of course, from queues. and we will certainly here with some of the same thing today in this chamber of post the point that it was the russians who loved that was cut down these this statement. sorry, we should have the same for the lod logic. the claims russians sell themselves just as a person, nuclear power plant or blooms, nor to stream and such, quote unquote, conclusions. recons get the friendly and perhaps not even the leading variety of so the deliver it out of touch from undertaken by and see if it gets new critical infrastructure facility is extremely dangerous and can essentially, it will be classified as a warm crime or an active terrorism attacks on august because i'm getting dangerous

forces who are expressly prohibited by international humanitarian law. with them just typically mentioned in article $56.00 of the 1st additional protocol to the geneva conventions of 1977. you have c d sabotaged, carried out by here has to be of some objectives. the 1st is to attract maximum attention in order to create several opportunities for regrouping it's unit for the in order to continue the widely publicized counter offensive, which is clearly is a bog down and ceiling to achieve the objective. so make here, according to our ministry of defense, be it has begun buildings, defensive positions on the right bank of sydney and for river, which indicates the intention of the paying forces to go on the defensive. the 2nd go, all the tag to book is to just let me just maximum humanitarian damage on the population . so fast territories which inevitably results from the destruction of a major water and energy infrastructure facility in the system at present the

authorities. and of course, on the region of the russian federation are evacuating the population from the flood prone areas. the positive growth stage can be damaged flores and has already red lead to an environmental new task for feed thousands of settlements downstream of the near pro river of flooding vehicles hoping for a reservoir and the north premium canals supplies water to the korean peninsula are seeing falling levels of water into the model, in other words, key holes because once again sit out and take revenge on koreans for their choice in favor of russia and leave the population of crimea without water. we also do not reload and of course of attempt at a provocation folding this appraise your nuclear power plant. at the same time, me on the key of authority, significantly increasing the discharge of water from the natural prepress kinds of dro electric power stations, which is leading to even greater flooding. and boom indicates that the 7 times the land in advance, in order to cause the most severe repercussions for the population of the region. 14 was supposed to get our view. it is the criminal care for him. and the western

patrons ultimately pumping it full of weapons to bear full responsibility for the unfolding tragedy in this act can be viewed as an extension of the systemic tactics used by the key of his name since 2014, which consist of the struggling surely civilian target this, with the, with the sole purpose of intimidating the civilian population. this is expressly prohibited by article 50. 1 of the same additional protocol is towards the use of terrorism. you're not comparing, not to time, so it's already become a calling part of the key or shame, which openly flaunts the people talk. next. it is responsible for the explosion on the korean bridge. the murders of daria to convince redland to starsky. this house a nation attempt on the harbor for 11 in the head of military intelligence of the armed forces of ukraine. the real productive has openly announced plans for the further terrace destruction of russian was not a word of condemnation. of these acts has been heard from western delegations. the key of review have a good teacher and support responsible among other things for the north stream

explosion and targeted targets on the outside. the fam and syria, the west is accustomed to using someone else's hands to do their dirty work with a solution. but in this case, hiding behind the incompetent, your machine will not work. we understand perfectly well who is actually planning, preparing and authorizing sabotage of this magnitude. a weird, deep sleep of will or we will do nothing to you on the secretary and repeatedly fails to condemn the attacks perpetrated by use the key version of the citing and sufficient information as we can use. for example, this with the showing of this appraise your nuclear power plant by the armed forces of ukraine, even though it is obvious to everyone from which side they are occurring. at the same time. those are the, specifically, the secretary's leadership does not hesitate to replicate politicized conclusions as see about the status supposedly list office kremser 0 results of russia's actions. you can train. this is an acceptable deviation from the principles of objectivity and impartiality. there are required of the on secretaries leadership

by article $100.00 of the un charter words we will call on the secretary general to finally provides an objective assessments on the terrace as carried out by the key of regime and condemned them. when says, did you see it on fully establishing all the circumstances of the barbaric attacks on the hosting tabs to our plan? we cannot do allow repetition of the tragedy and blue chat or the north stream explosion. thank you. i think the representative of, i think that a reason for their statement that i do and i now gives us welcome back. we've just been listening in life to the un security council meeting convened over the destruction of the town hall square hydro electric power plant. first of all, we heard from the under secretary for humanitarian assess, and emergency relief towards nights and mostly in griffith to set that be full scale impact to all of that um, of destruction of the down will only become clear in the coming days. meanwhile, an emergency response to effective civilians is already on the way he said the destruction of the gun will be a massive flow to t. food stores. it may affect electricity generation and it,

because my may also have adverse effects on these are photos. yeah. nuclear power plants, so the apparently, the power plant appears to know to feed on endangered. following that we had from russia's invoice to the un security council, busing events. yeah. who set them to face kazi, so i could status reports about campbell's ortiz. i truly proposing plans to flip the diamond even conducting such tests on the down, excuse k of pointing the finger of blame and most go to that. it has done in the pasta elevators or sabotage of the node stream pipeline attacks. and also the crime in which, which was the phones as well because the, it's not going to dumb a human rights violations and a whole crime. you'll just ed kids, western allies, which is pumped to creating full of lessons and continued to do so well that the full responsibility for the unfolding crisis that will follow the destruction of the down. so we'll keep you fully updated on the what else comes onto this un security council maintain f a. now let's continue with the regular run down despite

the serious recurrence. well, the season, the a stays, the situation is currently under control and or less as a being made to prevent civilian casualties where the sun was disrupted, of course, or the bullets it keeps coming. civilians are being evacuated from flooded coastal areas in order to save lives. and operational headquarters has been established. the ministry of emergency situations, the governor and the head of the local government, working together, there was no panic in the city. what was it has no reason by 10 meters and the level is 2 a rising. there is no panic, there is still electricity and lights in the city. or the local mat has described this as a terrorist act committed by a you create new forces and the ukranian president vladimir is a landscape with just having has blamed russia for the attack. and he's made a referral to the united nations security council, so conflicting reports,

and i've just to give some kind of idea of the scale of this hydro electric go down . it was built in 1956. it's a soviet era time. so it's incredibly robust. but it's 30 meters high on 2 miles long and it contains water roughly equivalent to great. so like in utah, so it's a pretty big time on the supplies, not only the local population, but also the piece of of crime it by household pollution. a states applied to photos that photos you in the power russian officials that say that there was no risk in this situation. the control the local areas are imminent. risk of flooding, evacuation operations all underway, effect somebody like a 2 settlements. we know that 30 homes in the immediate region already risk and have been back to right to the emergency services on the scene, trying to fix the problem and to ensure that people in the area are safe. now,

a cool face comes off the sunday is a tax for ukraine in full. see if they try to break motion to put it in 5 babies in the don't yet region, by what unsuccessful, they were repelled by russian forces with huge losses. of course, these some 16 turns up to 300 ukrainian soldiers in you for almost fighting vehicles, including these 3 bradley vehicles supplied by the united states. now, of course, there's been a lot of room or no speculation. so this could be the start of the long awaited spring what was the spring offensive by the ukrainian forces. let's say the situation could potentially be beneficial for ukrainian forces in his why potential flooding on the lower left spanking the chaos on region where russian on forces of stations would eventually shallow the, the need for a river, which would then enable ukraine to land forces in america, and carry out accounts were offensive. another official also says that the following, if the river creates a risk of you quite and sending a landing force to take control of these off for those you

a new club house phones. i really need you bromwoods its but of the shelving of the leap or can promote, does the landscape regimes desire to repeat its criminal plan to send a landing for us to never godard. just double check the foothold and then attempt to take control of this upper ocean nuclear power plant, especially given the fact that they've tried to do so several times will read and you'll see the shelving of the need for it will make the river easier to navigate. and it can facilitate such actions from this, the last your machine. the risk is there and we should evaluate it carefully and acknowledge its existence. we mobile target, think of a down doesn't exactly come out of nowhere. as last year, the washington post reported that ukraine's major general was considering flooding the river, utilizing a high, most like on the via called sky a barrier. and in december 2022, the commander of washers joined forces groups, day to the camp was preparing for a tax on hydro electric invoice talk to me in order to flood areas as well, so near. so we have intelligence. the reason you may use prohibitive,

methods of war in the area with a senior per song, as well as the preparation, but q of a must have missed all strikes and the goal satisfied they're related to them must be a function of a massive indiscriminate the real good, and there are tailors to, i can, let's say to include these actions could lead to the destruction of a need for structure of a large industrial sensor and largest of even casualties. sort of meanwhile, west and mainstream media are reporting a very different version of events with nato secretary general, yet insult him, bug stating that the pilots on destruction is not wages active. russian aggression the structural the hope ground dom today to the house and so civilians up to risk and cold. so severe environmental damage. this is a grey just act which demonstrates so once again, the tele t over rush, also war in ukraine. press 3, the correspondent joining miller sites. the western, as you're claiming and allegations against flushed over the down the source to are

the just, the situation clearly seems most, it keeps advantage of the major events in this comes which satisfied the beginning of the depth of the substance abuse is likely it's going to be severe that yeah, the yeah, the both sides of leaving each other across and not gone so on. so many of these on the ground once you've started russia and he's us as there's a lot of dollars to. so right now we're going to try me to bridge the most go on. yes. so we have to wait the 1000 investigation, but it does seem like this is more praised office right now.

equating and troops has failed council offensive attends on the phone lines over the course of the past 3 days. that's according to the russian defense minister. so guy is showing is the safety of suppose this of stuff and massive losses for choosing if the suits are over the course of 3 days. the ukrainian regime has undertaken a long promised defensive in different parts of the front line. concentrating many units of equipment and much man power for the purpose. on june, 4th, the 23rd and 31st mobile, the gates of the ukrainian troops attempted and offensive in 5 directions. the enemy did not succeed in any of them and suffered significant losses. 300 soldiers and 16 tanks, 26 armoured combat vehicles and 14 vehicles. let me tell you, it is not ferrying well for the k of combined is at least according to the rush is top military official basically in the course, over the course of the past 3 days, k of forces have been trying to bridge brushes, defenses, but sofa they have a fail,

they have completely failed and also the russian defense minister. he is shed some light on the cost that the ukrainian side has suffered and has really paid uh over the course of these pause 3 days. also, what's really peculiar about this latest statement by the russian men is still defense. he has provided details in a very rare instance. he has provided details as to the law says that the russian side has suffered, according to certain showing who they are in comparable to those that the ukrainian side had to endure. also the circus showing who has revealed that apparently in the face of nothing to show for the offensive and the phase of no feasible results on the ground. the ukrainian side has started to move its troops from other parts of the front, and then the issues you're having been unsuccessful in it's offensive actions. the enemy intends to transfer you into this equipment and equipment from the 1st on

direction. there's one offensive area. so in order to strengthen their potential and thereby significantly weakening their position is the direction upstairs on, sorry, for an incident minutes, the enemy has begun building defensive positions, right? bank of the neck, the river, which indicates the intention to switch to defending their about all of this, it really holds in line with what are the russia the russians have been saying about the explosion with the destruction of the diamond. novak hoff got the ukrainian side has been showing it relentlessly. there have been recorded instances of the ukrainian missiles fired towards the facility on tuesday. the blew up and the parts of the front have been badly, badly flooded. so now the great inside really has the opportunity to well move some of the troops from the here to some parts of the front to other sections like in these up are always your region in the net scan here in the just outside loo guns because of course the offensive potential of both armies,

but mostly of the russian army, because mostly the left bank of the river has been the, has been flooded. they have been significant. well, they have been impacted. they have been crippled. and so the ukranian side maybe doesn't have to worry so much in the, in the next couple of days that the russian side might attempt anything to cross the river to the river to you and to try and to capitalize on the gains on other parts of the front of the 7 days of broken ties. a rod has we, i think there's some busy in riyadh and we follows the success of a chinese broken agreement between the 2 states. those that comes when us secretary of state on to the blinking visits to saudi arabia, i'll say correspondence use of delani brings as well. it was finally after much anticipation. it was embassy and resolve has officially been reopened after several years of closure. and this marks the official resumption of diplomatic ties between one and re all after 7 years of icy relations. of course,

we do know that they are wanting costs on a general in just as well as its permanence representative to the organization of islamic cooperation. have also started to iran, of course, uh earlier, we know that the iranian embassy and the consul, i had already started their activities, partially and on officially to facilitate commutes of iranian pilgrims hatched programs to the solid, the city of clinic. of course, the reopening of the one in embassy and re all comes in line with the i china, brokered agreement, signed between iran and saudi arabia envisioning back in march. which um, aim to of course, um, like uh, bridge the differences between the 2 former our drivers and it $1.00 to $1.00 believes that this shows the failure of the western hedge of any, any for once. and then we turn your ons active presence in the shanghai cooperation organization, your asian economic union, and recently bricks shows the global policy of isolating. iran has failed. they

want the current order, which is based on us to germany, to be at the center of world attention. but as the concepts and international politics and relations have changed in recent years, the realities of the global arena have as well. last mostly want introduce, how do you resolve it to us as invested or to re all the force or the result in id is a heavy weight and high profile. yvonne and diplomats, we used to serve as the iranian envoy to collides as well as deputy foreign minister and regional affairs. now everyone is waiting for solid. yeah. radio to also officially reopen and send us the entire one as well as its consulate in the one in the city of my shot last week on the sidelines of the brick summit in south africa. so the, for the minister face of the $500.00 told his they're wanting and counterpart that he would pay an official visit to, to have on. and then your future of course, in recent months, ties between the former are tribals, have started to warn thanks. so. busy is a china mediated agreement,

something which they say i will foster peace and security in a region that had been grab a grip 5 course of violence and conflict. since the 2 regional powerhouse powerhouses parted ways in 2016. on the policy on the list on public diplomacy, strategies side must of a cost session saves the reopening of the rating embassy amongst a significant decline of us influence in the middle east. this is a major step taken by the 2 side side after pick a 2 for us presence. be the region which brought possibilities and this the possession of the region. now. busy we are starting a new error actually in the world because the power is being gone. a transition from the west to these 2 countries like china now rushed up in the iraq and the bricks. members, we can see shift them all the season, revision in strategies, but then you'll these, that's one of the main reasons why the so these are came for

a rach brockavitch one with a broad, especially considering that they saw and experienced. but you were shameful and re credible retreats from afghanistan in such a shame. and then that was a great post to everyone in the region, but the us is moving on. it declined. busy power for several 2nd, the americans and started building off deployments. naval deployment in the persian gulf to elijah, click to chat, solve the radio. i think you're the rain and that is, that's what they beat was the specialized office. all these that you with you are there's a confidence the united states plots against garage or do stuff like that you're on for quite a long time. the last one being last. busy when the yours to both the right things can be wrong in the frank working from cypress law for that also included other areas of offer and by a cyber attacks assassination as one of the sabotage attacks and so on,

so forth. and also including sanctions up to 3 years in prison sentence a form i just administer no faces. in slovakia of his pro russian comments on social media. also, he contributes a rachel mazda and brings up the details of this controversial tace. the selection she's prosecutor's office has just criminally charged as former supreme court chief justice citing social media posts of he allegedly made at the onset of the conflict the new created last year. but here's the cash stefan harbin is also the former slovak in justice minister. so it's kind of like he's using a fire chief of going around lighting fires. he's charged with both the defamation of a nation race and persuasion, and the endorsement of a crime. he's accused of posting social media that he quote, would have done exactly the same thing as russian president vladimir putin as the onset of the special operation and ukraine. and reset the interview that was posted online on youtube that it was russia's duty to quote,

liquidate all ukrainian nazis who have killed the $14000.00 children. women and elderly people in don bass says 2014. so which nation is he actually accused of defaming ukraine for bringing up the topic of nazis. germany are bringing up the topic of nazis. slovak ya for the fact that even exists and maybe is embarrassing his own country. they feel it's not really clear at this point. in any case, he's looking at 3 years in prison over these charges, but that doesn't seem to have to be turned them at all. i'm proud of this statement i have written, and i would repeat it any time. it is indisputable that putin and the russian federation act as in accordance with international law. it cannot be called an aggressor. so that actually is one of the few countries in europe, but still trace of defamation as a criminal matter, rather than a civil one. and for years now, the eu has considered such criminal defamation laws to be

a threat to free expression, notably as they can be used to stifle criticism from independent media and civil society. but we're not talking about some bit marginal player here in this particular case. are been ran for president in 2019 and was chief justice of the country for a decade. but he's also its own one man show a single handedly stress testing the country's free speech laws. it seems. having also raised eyebrows with some rather powerful past remarks. russian never starts. a war brushes was started against them always only and in the center of the aggressor of the war and ukraine was started by nazis in 2014, without the slightest hesitation. in russia's actions have been the only ones aimed at stopping them after 8 long years. the west has completely exposed is hypocrisy

in the sense that with their passive consent, alone for ukrainian russians to be murdered with impunity just for the front of it . because they are russian, these are the charges that may have some evidence that emerged well over a year ago. just happened to come at the time when there's a full court press by this current slovak, came president against what she qualifies as russian. this information some politically does include in on piece for these type of information and paul them into by the media. look at things are going badly for an establishment figure which they are in this case. you can pretty much be sure that they're going to make it, or try to make it rushes fault. what whatever's be said is obviously not resonating with low back. so since just 40 percent of them actually believe that russia is responsible for the conflict, the ukraine, and that's down 6 points from 51 percent last year. and it looks like that could spell a real problem for the incumbent president who shaping up to lose the september

election if this keeps up against the same pro russian party, whose leader at robert pico, an ally at heart, been positive, stopped say that he feels he was basically cover holler, revolution, right out of office by protests in 2018, but now he's back in the saddle and he's overtaking the incumbent and it's not an isolated phenomenon in europe right now. austria is freedom party, for example. also considered russian friendly is keeping a pulling lead ahead of next year's election. so it seems like voters in these countries are looking past. all of the yelling and pro, clutching an arm waving about russia by these incumbent establishment leaders and their existing on a responsibility for domestics failures, squarely at the feet of their own. the officials, palestinians have buried a 3 year old boy who died in hospital after being sold by the israeli military

during a raid and the occupied westbank. the idea of safe is investigating the killing, which it claims could have happened by mistake you in the crossfire hundreds of palestinians attend to the toddlers emotional funeral tease and we have some notion of reports for missing. the another innocent child has lost his life in what israel calls counter terrorist activity in the alter, fide westbank. every funeral of italy's tv and civilian killed in violence turns into a small protest. this one is especially painful as to victor was just 2 and a half years old. returns home for the last time. his mother cannot substituting the hugging he also for the last time the backyard to put them in. his house is where i'm how much was shocked in the had the perpetrators say it was an accident.
