now ukraine, that's bringing the elders here as gabriel elizondo. you're covering all of this listening to all of this. uh, gabriel, what did you make of this one? i'll start you off with this quote. mister cool, eva said. moscow hopes the world will deplete it's empathy for ukrainians if enough ukrainians are killed enough days in a row or yeah, that's right. it was pretty somber and very straightforward. so actually, the 3rd time we've heard ukraine's before administer speak here at un headquarters . just today spoke at the general assembly. then he spoke to some journalists outside the general assembly. and now this is the uh, the 3rd time that we've heard him and actually spoke before he went into the secret into the security council as well. so essentially, 4 times every time he speak spoken today, it's been pretty direct and pretty somber because you get a sense that he realizes that they meaning the ukrainians are in a very, very critical moment. they know that the war and guys in israel's war on gaza, has been at the top of the agenda of the,

so let's go to gabriel. elizondo. gabriel. you're at u. n. h q in new york, so that ukraine war is an open wound at the heart of europe. that was um mr. gutierrez is opening statement. what did you make of what he had to say as well? i think he's trying to remind the world, quite frankly, of what's going on and ukraine, and remind to a lesser degree, perhaps even russia, that the eyes of the world, or at least in the view of antonio gutierrez, the secretary general, are still on ukraine. and the conflict there clearly uh it is without the exception or without doubt if you will, that the focus right now of much of the world including the united nations, including the security council as a body is focused on gaza and israel's war on guys or for obvious reasons, however, as we approached the 2 year anniversary of the conflict in ukraine, i think this was really the secretary general's chance if you will, to really pull people together and give a broad brush stroke outline of where he thinks things stand if you will on this and i think he pointed

and what happens in yemen can impact the region. gabriel elizondo has more from un headquarters in new york. the security council held several meetings on a young man last month, but they were behind closed doors. this is the 1st meeting in nearly 5 months to the security council as held that has been open, where we've got a chance to really green what's going on at least with the situation in terms of the un officials that are in charge of this piece. process there, and certainly last year, the internationally recognized government and the who these were in gene closer to some piece agreement, but that well not being completely de railed according to the us. us special envoy for yemen is saying it's certainly much more complicated now and he's cited, of course, the tensions in the red sea with the, the who the attacks on the commercial shipping lines. and then also the u. s. and u. k. strikes on yemen, as well as he cited the us declaring the who these a terrorist organization added all up and that has made a peace process in young men become much more difficulties focusing right now

to amazing that included discussion of a draft resolution cooling for a cease fire and casa. gabriel elizondo has moved from the united nations a few and passengers wanted to speak publicly as delicate negotiations. continue on this algerian draft resolution that calls for among other things, an immediate cease fire. but us official says all sides are far apart and they are not ready to agree to that. we're engaging. and so we'll continue to engage and hopefully we can get some attacks that everyone can support. but i don't know if we're not in a position right now for me to say that were there were no somebody's really officials have called on the you when to help relocate palestinians out of rafa had an anticipated ground defensive there. but on monday, that's something the un flatly rejected. what we want is to ensure that anything that happens is done in full respect of international law. in the full respect of the protection of, of civilians. we will not the party to force displacement of people. security council members met into the evening monday here at the un headquarters to discuss

nations 8 official security council members have been meeting to discuss the fluid scarcity. gabriel elizondo has more on the discussions from the united nations, the, the palestinians, and guys that continue to suffer with not enough to eat. in many cases, nothing at all. 2 months ago the united nations warned that by february the people of kaiser could face imminent risk of famine. on tuesday, the security council was told that is exactly what is happening. and here we are at the end of february with at least 576000 people and also one quarter of the population. one step away from freshman with one and 6 children under 2 years of age. and nothing drives us suffering from acute knowledge and the un said they're working to restart food delivery to northern gas a. this is an absolute humanitarian imperative. the staff on our home was witnessed catastrophic conditions in the north. for the clean water scars model attrition is storing and the seas is right. probably u. n is hesitant to explicitly say, palestinians are dying of hunger. it's becoming increasingly clear that it can not be denied fo

so united states is just spoken and were expecting of russia and a short while. gabriel elizondo is of the un headquarters in new york. okay, but i wonder what you made of that speech. we just heard one quote for you. only one party is the aggressor in this war and only one party can end the u. n. and basset or lindsey thomas greenfield, was obviously referring to russia here. yeah, that's an interesting point. um, but she said that before in the last 2 years, so a lot of what we've heard from linda thomas greenfield, the us and bastard of u. n. was what we have been hearing for the past 2 years. that's not to diminish what she said. of course, it's just to point out that here we are 2 years later and clearly the words by the united states have not changed the dynamics. if anything right now is we all know ukraine is not doing so well on the battlefield, right? they're short on weapons. they have not been able to advance in their counter offensive that did not yield the success that day or the united states had hoped. and we see that russia is now taking back some territory that ukrain

sufficient quantities, and almost impossible operating conditions phase by our staff on the ground. gabriel elizondo has more from the united nations on the 8 situation in gosh, it's clear not enough humanitarian aid is getting in the gaza in a little bit. that is, is not reaching the people that need it the most. and it's clear that the united nations is increasingly frustrated with is real because it is real controls, the porters and controls the entry points and has the power to hold up aid as the un says that they are doing. and not only that, but even restrict where aid is delivered to once it does get into the gaza strip. even the united states is calling on israel to do more. we urge israel to keep border crossings open for humanitarian aid, to enter gaza. to facilitate the opening of additional crossings to meet you mandatory and needs at scale, and to support the rapid safe delivery of relief items, developmental people and all the cars are and it's not only humanitarian a d u. n is saying that the entire agricultural system of gaza is on the brink of collapse. everything from the fishing i

critical humanitarian aid can get into and across garza, for all those who so desperately need it. gabriel elizondo reports from you in headquarters in new york. the number one uh, the spokesperson for the secretary general is not calling you to mass securities, calling it an incident that needs to be investigated. you clearly condemned it, but was questioned by journalist multiple times and repeatedly during his daily noon. a briefing that takes place here every day at un headquarters ask him who exactly are you condemning and what actions and this. and i think he's trying to walk a very fine line there because as you heard him say there, uh it has been more than a week since the u. n. has been able to be on the ground in northern guys are delivering aids themselves. so they're trying to get as much information as they can as our everyone else. so he was very hesitant to specifically name israel as the corporate of this, or get into too many details without more information. but the bottom line is i, i asked him repeatedly us and specifically if the u. n. was involved at all in this a distribution

it else was here is gabriel elizondo. gabriel. you're at un headquarters in new york. you're following all the proceedings today on this. we heard the secretary general. we heard the us now we just heard the russian and bass that are looking deliberate. a characteristically, i think, combative speech. he reference george orwell. he reference tucker carlson. he blasted the west and nato with it all this. what's that stood out to you as well. there was a lot there has we normally get from the russian ambassador. he likes to be combative and he likes to weave in history, or at least russia's version of history. and this conflict into a speech is, i think you got really 2 big themes out of his speech. and they both start with a v, i would say victim hood and victory. what i mean by victim hood is, he was portraying russia as a victim of a proxy war by the united states, the u. k. and the brighter west, the european union, if you will, please saying that there. russia has always been the victim of anti russia propaganda for many years as he talked about. and he said, how ma
