  1. The Istanbul accords point to a viable path. The immediate resumption of direct negotiations between the parties for the end of hostilities must be the priority of the Council, in order to stop the escalation of violence and avoid the loss of thousands of human lives. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I would like to draw the attention of speakers to paragraph 22 of presidential note S/2017/507, which encourages all participants in Council meetings to deliver their statements in five minutes or less, in line with the Security Council’s commitment to making more effective use of open meetings. I now give the floor to the representative of Ukraine.

  2. Brazil shares the disappointment expressed by other members at the incapacity of the Security Council to reach consensus for the approval of a presidential or press statement. We should, however, welcome the parties’ active engagement in the negotiations. We urge both sides to avoid actions that could jeopardize the implementation of the agreements. The insistence on the search for a decisive result on the battlefield will result only in greater destruction. Although the past few months seem to have downplayed the role of diplomacy in dealing with the crisis, it is precisely in the face of the greatest challenges that we must remain committed to the spirit of the United Nations and devote all our efforts to achieving lasting peace. Let us not be carried away by the impulse to close the doors to dialogue.

  3. The conflict and its associated sanctions have aggravated disturbing trends around the world. Rising food and fuel prices, as well as the threat of a supply crisis, are hitting developing countries the hardest. The agreement announced last Friday brought with it the hope that political solutions can be achieved. Negotiations between the parties resulted in a concrete response to an urgent problem. The two agreements in Istanbul pave the way for the resumption of exports of grains and fertilizers and the reintegration of the two countries into international markets. We thank the Secretary-General and the Government of Türkiye for their decisive role in brokering the agreements.

  4. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Brazil. I thank the Permanent Missions of Albania and the United States for proposing this meeting, and I thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo. This month, we all became aware of military actions in Odesa, Chasiv Yar, Vinnytsia, Chuhuiv, Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities, which claimed the lives of dozens of victims. Attacks against civilians are unjustifiable under international humanitarian law. We reiterate the call for the parties to act with restraint and prevent further civilian casualties as a side effect of the hostilities. Since the beginning of the conflict five months ago, we have insisted on the need for engagement in constructive and pragmatic dialogue that will limit the immense losses imposed on Ukraine and begin the process of re-establishing peace.

  7. Ambassador Byrne Nason has also been a champion of women’s voices at the United Nations, not only at the Security Council, where we share commitments to make women and peace and security a top priority, but also in other forums — for instance, as Chair of the Commission on the Status of Women for two years. The Council, and indeed the entire United Nations, will miss her top-notch skills and negotiating prowess. We look forward to continuing to work with her, her team and her successor, hoping our paths cross again shortly. I wish her and her family all the very best in Washington, D.C. As one would say in Irish — and please excuse my pronunciation — Go n-éirí an bóthar leat, that is, may the road rise to meet you. Adoption of the agenda The agenda was adopted. Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine

  8. With Ambassador Byrne Nason’s competent leadership, Ireland has successfully promoted the core values of empathy, partnership and independence here in the Security Council and time again played an important role in building bridges, closing gaps and reaching consensus. Since we held a meeting on peacebuilding and sustaining peace this very week (see S/PV.9101), I would like to highlight that, during Ireland’s presidency last September, Ambassador Byrne Nason worked to bridge the critical gap between peacekeeping and peacebuilding in leading the Council’s first-even resolution on United Nations transitions (resolution 2594 (2021)).

  9. Before proceeding, I would like to say a word concerning the end of the tenure of our distinguished and dear colleague Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason. I have been informed that this is her last meeting in the Security Council. I am certain that I speak for all of us around this table when I express my gratitude to Ambassador Byrne Nason for our valuable cooperation and relationship in the United Nations. Particularly here at the Security Council, it has been an honour to work side by side with her to promote peace and security and to defend our shared deep belief in the Charter of the United Nations.
