president, the united nations is deeply concerned about this escalation of tensions, which is taking place in the broader context of the conflict of ukraine and annexation of crimea. in our last briefing to the council, we urged all parties to avoid any unilateral steps that could deepen the divide or depart from the spirit and letter of the minsk agreement. tothat context, i wish reiterate that the u.n. fully supports the lead role of the normandy four, trilateral conflict group, and other actors to find a peaceful settlement. ourso wish to reiterate call for renewed and constructive action by all concerned to overcome the apparent impasse in diplomatic negotiations. the u.n. underlines the need to fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders in accordance with relevant general assembly and security council resolutions. regrettably, yesterday's causent only threatens to the situation in and around ukraine to deteriorate further. we strongly urge both the russian federation and ukraine to refrain from any ratcheting

the united nations. is not very deliberative it's supposed to be a deliberative body but. everyone has rushed to judgment without being able to examine the facts of the situation obviously now that crimea is part of russia. russia needs to assert its sovereignty at the same time there is a two thousand and three treaty that still is in effect that allows ukraine to to trance it through this very important strait and so to some extent i think perhaps it is possible that the ukrainians were also trying to assert their rights under that treaty but the fact that the united nations jumps to conclusions without examining the facts is not encouraging but at least there is an opportunity for the claims to be presented the ukrainians were perhaps a bit reckless and perhaps. perhaps there was an intention to create a provocation i don't count that out at all we do know that the president or shango has eighty percent disapproval ratings he is up for reelection in twenty nineteen something must be done to change the narrative if he's to have a chance of reelection and if you look at i

charter, the united nations convention law of the sea, as well as existing bilateral agreements. this is a conscious provocation aimed at aggravation of the security situation in the region with the aim to establish its full control over the sea of azov and the kerch strait. there is irrefutable evidence that the recent russian aggressive actions were planned and authorized by the top russian military leadership. mr. president, the restrained actions of the ukraine clearly demonstrates that we're committed to solve the current situation by peaceful means and in full compliance with international law and existing bilateral obligations. nevertheless, further escalation of the situation by the russian federation should not be ruled out. according to available intelligence data, there is a clear threat for invasion and seizing of mariupol and gdansk. further acts and provocations by the border guard service and russian navy remains a possibility. due to these threats, yesterday the president of ukraine supported the initiative of the national security and defense council to propose t

zero at the united nations. so james are all the diplomats pushing us forward to a situation that they can live with as opposed to dealing with the reality of what happened. well i think the only way you're going to get that international inquiry which so many are now calling for is if turkey asked for it if turkey goes through its judicial process and then meets a dead end and doesn't get any further then i think turkey could quite possibly make a request to the u.n. secretary general and that request could be supported by a body of the united nations say the general assembly or the human rights council and then you would get a u.n. investigation but that some way off so in terms of the diplomacy of the actual case that's where we are in terms of the wider diplomacy i think something interesting is going on with regard to saudi arabia and the way saudi arabia is viewed it has always been seen as one of the most powerful countries that the united nations because of its regional strategic importance and its econo
