1. “Together, we have to defend the Charter of the United Nations. Accountability for all-crimes under international law must be ensured. Yesterday the General Assembly adopted resolution ES-11/6, entitled “Principles of the Charter of the United Nations underlying a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine” with a huge majority of votes. The international community has spoken clearly about its strong wish for peace in line with the Charter. The peace formula plan presented by President Zelenskyy is the one to be built on. We have stood with Ukraine from the outset and remain committed to its wish for a just peace, as well as its undeniable right in line with Article 51 of the Charter to defend itself against the aggression.”

2. “The consequences of Russia’s aggression reach far beyond Europe. They are truly global. The war it wages has sent shock waves throughout the world commodity markets, threatening to drive 50 million people to the brink of famine across Africa and other continents. Russia’s massive air strikes, deliberately conducted in densely populated areas, are destroying critical civilian infrastructure and innocent lives. Entire towns and villages have been wiped out. The evidence of Russia’s atrocities and ferocious attacks against Ukraine’s civilian population, including children, is overwhelming. Just a few days ago, President Putin announced Russia’s suspension of the New Start Treaty. For him, escalation is the order of the day. We must collectively stop Russia from dragging us into the horrors similar to those of the World Wars.”

3. “Mr. Lipavký (Czechia): I greatly appreciate the opportunity to participate in this Security Council debate. Czechia hosts the highest number of Ukrainian war refugees per capita — nearly half a million — most of them women and children. We are one of the countries most affected by the direct consequences of Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine. Russia’s cruel full-scale aggression started one year ago, and its illegal annexation of Crimea began nine years ago. Russia sees other countries, along with their freedom, democracy and even their statehood, as nothing but spoils up for grabs in its colonialist and imperialist ambition. Yet the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders is non-negotiable.”
