Thank you President,
And thank you deputy Ebo for the briefing.
Once again instead of acting with objectivity and reality, Russia prefers to continue misusing this platform for their propaganda.
While Kremlin is looking for arms supply from DPRK and Iran, in violation of SC resolutions, it tries to divert the attention of the Council with so called “Western arms supply”.
Russia has committed an unprovoked military aggression against Ukraine, violating the UN Charter and the International Law. Because of this aggression, the international community is assisting Ukraine in its struggle to defend its country, in accordance with the UN Charter and International Law.
A couple of days ago the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine submitted to the General Assembly a report with new evidence that Russian authorities have committed violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law, and corresponding crimes, in Ukraine.
This should have been a reason for Russia to call a SC meeting today.
In this context together with our British and American colleagues we are co organizing today an Arria formula Meeting, where the findings of this report will be presented.
We are looking forward to hearing real facts and not propaganda!
Thank you!
