  1. “The General Assembly has called repeatedly for peace — a peace that is based on the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and our shared belief that might does not equal right. President Zelenskyy’s 10-point plan has shown a way forward. Ukraine wants peace. We want peace. The whole world wants peace. Peace will bring home Ukraine’s lost children and feed the hungry of the world. Peace will keep the promises we all made in the Charter. Peace will pave the way to a reformed multilateral system. Peace will help deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. A just and lasting peace is what we all want. The Russian Federation can choose peace — today — by withdrawing all Russian forces from Ukraine. I urge Mr. Putin to bring his troops home and to end this war now. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

  2. “Some of those losses were offset by the Black Sea Grain Initiative, brokered by the Secretary-General and Türkiye. But today Russia has announced that it is refusing to extend it, taking a colossal 23 million tons of Ukrainian food off world markets over the coming year. As the Secretary-General said this morning, today’s decision by the Russian Federation will strike a blow to people in need everywhere. We call on Russia to return to the table and agree to extend the Black Sea Grain Initiative indefinitely, and to implement it fully without delay. Let us be clear — Russia’s actions are taking food out of the mouths of the poorest people across Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. We cannot allow this war to go on for another 500 days.”

  3. “But the world is watching, and Russia will be held accountable. We welcome the International Criminal Court’s investigation, and we will leave no stone unturned until those responsible are brought to justice. Ukrainians are Russia’s principal victims, but the war is also harming the poor and the vulnerable across the world, particularly in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Energy prices skyrocketed by 20 per cent worldwide last year — almost doubling global inflation from 4.7 per cent to 8.7 per cent. World food supplies have fallen sharply. Ukrainian food exports — maize, barley and wheat — have plummeted by more than 40 per cent, with catastrophic consequences for sub-Saharan Africa, which relies on those supplies. Food prices are skyrocketing — they increased by a staggering 332 per cent in Lebanon last summer.”

  4. “When the Russians captured his hometown, they told Denys and his classmates that they were going on a holiday. They were in fact transported to a Russian camp where they were neglected, indoctrinated and abused. Denys’ distraught mother was desperately searching for him. But the Russians, pretending to look after Denys and countless others, told him that his parents had abandoned him. The boy’s ordeal lasted for 7 months before his mother — thanks to the charity Save Ukraine — found him and brought him home. But 19,000 Ukrainian children remain in Russian camps, and their parents are desperately searching for them. A further 2.5 million Ukrainian men and women have been deported to Russia. Those are barbaric crimes. Russia is trying to erase Ukrainian identity and cultural history, and it is using children as an instrument of war.”

  5. “I thank Ms. DiCarlo for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. More than 500 days have now passed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At least 9,000 innocent civilians lie dead, including 500 children. Thousands more Ukrainians have been kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured. Homes, businesses, schools and hospitals have been reduced to rubble. Russia’s incessant attacks have knocked out 60 per cent of Ukraine’s power supply. The war has claimed countless victims. I am going to focus on those who have been forcibly deported in this war and those who are going hungry as a result of it. In Kyiv last month I met a teenage boy — I will call him Denys.”
