  1. “President Putin’s escalating barrages on Ukraine’s infrastructure are evidence that he has no genuine interest in negotiations or meaningful diplomacy. Instead, he is trying to break Ukraine’s will to fight by bombing and freezing its civilians into submission. But he will not succeed, because Ukraine is fighting for its freedom and for the future of its children. And we will do everything in our power to keep hope alive in Ukraine.”

  2. “But we know that more will be needed. We applaud France’s initiative to hold an international conference focused on Ukraine’s resilience on 13 December. The United States is also grateful for the United Nations efforts to continue the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which has succeeded in getting desperately needed food from Ukraine ports to world markets. That has helped lower food prices and ensure that wheat purchased by the World Food Programme reaches vulnerable people in Yemen, Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Somalia. During her recent visit to Ukraine, President Zelenskyy told Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield that he seeks a just peace that is based on the Charter of the United Nations and its principles, which is what the Council is here to uphold and defend.”

  3. “We heard that in October when Denise Brown, United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, briefed the Security Council (see S/PV.9161) and described in sobering detail the human toll of the war. Humanitarian aid workers have shown that they are willing to stay and deliver in the face of considerable security risks that too often have ended in the loss of life. It is notable that, despite all obstacles, aid agencies in Ukraine managed to implement the largest humanitarian cash assistance programme in history, transferring more than $1 billion to 6 million people. Since 24 February, the United States alone has provided more than $1.5 billion in humanitarian aid to support the displaced, including refugees and other vulnerable populations and communities inside Ukraine and around the region.”

  4. “As a result of the repeated strikes, children cannot attend school, doctors cannot treat the sick and families are forced to make decisions about whether to freeze in their homes or join the millions of others already displaced in seeking safety from the horrors of war. We commend the Government and the people of Ukraine for their tremendous resilience and resolve in the face of the merciless aggression, and we commend the work done by the humanitarian community. Over the past 10 months of Russia’s war, the United Nations and non-governmental organizations have delivered principled humanitarian aid under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.”

  5. “Russia turned Ukraine’s rolling wheat fields into battlefields, and it intentionally destroyed the grain that Ukraine once supplied to the developing world. Now as Ukraine fights back to reclaim its sovereign territory and defend its people, President Putin has focused his ire and fire on Ukraine’s civilian population. As temperatures plummet, Russia is launching a barrage of missiles at energy stations, adding to its destruction of critical infrastructure across Ukraine. The consequences are horrific and cause needless suffering. Roads, schools and medical facilities have not been spared.”

  6. “I thank Under-Secretary-General Griffiths for his briefing today. Last Thursday, the United Nations released its Global Humanitarian Overview 2023, which set another record, with 339 million people in need of assistance and a price tag of $51 billion. When the United Nations launched its humanitarian needs overview last year, we wondered how much worse it could get. Tragically, Russia’s illegal war answered that question. Russia’s aggression triggered one of the largest refugee and displacement crises since the Second World War. Hunger, already at extreme levels because of the coronavirus disease, other conflicts and climate change, has surged this year because Russia has disrupted the world’s global food systems.”
