“And we will continue our steadfast support, including for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, until this shameless war is over. And there is also one fact that is undeniable. The war will be over one day, and those responsible for all the crimes committed will be held accountable and brought to justice.”

“That also concerns temporarily occupied Crimea, as well as other parts of Ukraine, including those where the Russian Federation, together with local puppet authorities, orchestrated so- called referendums in a blatant breach of international rules. We are extremely concerned about the numbers of civilian casualties that have resulted since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, more than 8,000 people have been killed and more than 13,000 injured. Needless to say, we all know that the real numbers are much higher than that. Slovakia has stood by Ukraine since the very beginning of its defence against Russia’s aggression.”

“And I do not really understand in which parallel universe depriving millions of innocent people of electricity, heat and water and plunging a country into darkness can be justified on the pretext of a so-called special military operation. Russia’s systematic and thorough spreading of propaganda and distortion of the facts is quite cynical. It seems to be promoting some kind of alternative reality — a behaviour that we continue to condemn. We reiterate our call for an immediate cessation of Russia’s military activities in Ukraine and the unconditional withdrawal of all Russian troops from the entire territory of Ukraine.”

“That was the night when the whole international community learned of Russia’s decision to begin an unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine in violation of all the fundamental values and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Yes, it was the Russian Federation, which holds a permanent seat in this Chamber and is one of those primarily responsible for maintaining peace and security. Needless to say, at that moment, our faith in multilateralism was shaken to its foundations. Despite the pain and suffering that have ensued since this senseless war started, the Russian Federation has ignored the international community’s calls for ending the agony.”

“Mr. Káčer (Slovakia): One year ago, the Security Council met in this very Chamber (see S/PV.8974), around this very table, with the main purpose of the meeting to discuss an unprecedented military build-up of Russian forces, which posed a threat to international peace and security. The last hopes for persuading Russia to de-escalate the situation and engage constructively in negotiations were shattered by the words of the then Ambassador of Ukraine, warning members of the Security Council that it was already too late to speak about de-escalation, as the Russian President had declared war. And as we all know, that happened despite Russia’s numerous assurances claiming that it had no intention of invading its neighbour.”
