decarlo for her briefing. with an inclusive mandate and participation, the osce has a rich toolbox for increasing transparency, building trust, and reducing tension. using the organization's full potential to solve the crises of today is essential, but the necessary political will is also required. president, we commend the osce for now turning the focus on the work in ukraine to the devolving humanitarian crisis. good use should be made of the osce special monetary should to ukraine, national staff on the ground, the premises, its fleet of vehicles, and facilitating localized cease-fires. the osce can also provide valuable competence on border management and human trafficking. and we again reiterate our condemnation of russia's illegal and unprovoked military aggression against ukraine. that makes this expertise again necessary in europe. the russian aggression is a serious violation of international law and ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. we call on the russian federation to immediately with

i also think madam rosemary decarlo. mr. president, this is happening when the foundation of europe security borders are being shaken to the core by an ongoing armed conflict that reminds us of the old european wars. the armed conflict in ukraine is already extremely caustic in all aspects ranging from loss of life to millions of refugees that have been displaced, destruction of civilian infrastructure and destabilization of economies across the globe. if not urgently halted, the consequences will be more catastrophic to poland, ukraine and europe at large but also to the entire world, particularly small and fragile economic -- economies in the global south. the conflicts and other dynamics , they are in the design and secure architecture for europe that is more firmly grounded on such fundamental principles as respect for sovereignty, integrity and dependence of member states. respective agreements and a specific settlement of disputes. we agree with the chairperson in office that the organization for the region to regard e

i ought to ask the under secretary general decarlo to forward our request to the secretary general with that ish to ensure that every single body of the united nations, every employee of the secretariat respects the decision of the general assembly or march to and does not deviate or substitute with ambiguities or fakes like special military forces. the language of the resolution that is called aggression against ukraine. a vague, a full fledged russian invasion has already resulted in thousands killed over a 1000000 refugees ruined infrastructure. it is already the common duty of the international community to stop rush and murderers and terrorists stop by closing the skies over ukraine. stop by supporting ukraine in terms of security and humanitarian assistance. stop by expelling russians from international institutions, as they do not deserve to be among civilized and responsible nations. einstein said the world will not be destroyed by those who do evil leave credence we'll do, we'll deal with evil. but by those who watch them without doing anything, the people of ukraine do more th

distinguished members of the security council, madam undersecretary, general decarlo. i should acknowledge the presence of a separate category here. the representative of the aggressor state who sits in the state -- the seat of the soviet union in the counsel. the status of was recognized by the general assembly resolution 11/one, aggressor state. there is a very long record of russian lies established here in the security council. only the recollection of the items of lies over the past two weeks would take an hour or so. but let me mention just a couple , the lowest of the low. i would not hesitate to mention them again after the representative sitting in the soviet seat just said them. let me quote. russian foreign minister lavrov. he said yesterday "we do not plan to attack other countries. we did not attack ukraine.". the outlet of russian embassy in london tweeted yesterday that a pregnant woman in the attacked maternity hospital was wearing makeup and playing multiple roles of pregnant women. indeed, moscow and the russian ambassador here are struggling to get t

president i thank madam decarlo and nakamitsu further briefings and i wish to denounce in the strongest of terms the unfounded allegations of russia. russia would have us believe that chemical attacks are being prepared by ukraine. russia would also have us believe there are bioweapons research were laboratories. let us be serious, no one is fooled by russia's lies. they are part of a disinformation strategy and a smokescreen which russia has used to make it into a boot weapon of war. we did announce the responsible publications a few days ago at the opcw allowing 46 other state parties. furthermore this is not the first time russia has spread lies to cause confusion so fear and cover up its own responsibilities. let's remember the facts. it was russia and not ukraine that resorted to chemical weapons in recent years on european soil. it is also russia which is seeking to cover up through disinformation the chemical attack of the syrian regime. france is very concerned that the possibility that this disinformation campaign may be a prelude to the use of a chemical or dialogical weapon o
