“We welcome the energetic efforts of the Secretary- General in organizing a coordinated and effective response by the international community to the Ebola epidemic. We deem it important that all participants closely follow the main areas elaborated by the WHO in its publication "Ebola response road map". The Russian Federation's assistance is fully in keeping with the main provisions of that document, and we stand ready to continue to participate in implementing the international strategy for combating the disease in coordination with the Governments of affected States, United Nations system entities and, of course, other partners.”

“In that respect, the Russian Federation is prepared to earmark a $2.5 million contribution to the WHO budget for 2014-2015 to promote the implementation of international health protocols, which are the very basis ofthe global response to threats such as the Ebola epidemic. We will also provide direct technical assistance to countries in need for implementing international health protocols to the tune of $4 million. Furthermore, we plan to contribute $3.5 million to the WHO to step up the organization's readiness to respond to emergency situations. We deem it important to inform the Council that efforts to combat the epidemic have also come from Russia's private sector. For example, the Russian corporation Rusal financed the acquisition of personal protection equipment for the Ministry of Health of Guinea.”

“Furthermore, Russia has developed high-sensitivity test systems for diagnosing Ebola that we are ready to supply to all laboratories operational in the area of the epidemic, under the auspices of the WHO. Help for the sick is quite clearly of primary importance, but that is only part of the problem. At the same time, the main reason why this deadly disease continues to spread is the lack of effective prophylactic and health-awareness systems in the affected countries, due to a lack of epidemiologists and specialists in biosafety, as well as managers in the field of sanitary and epidemiological health.”

“Its operating costs are fully covered by our country at an estimated cost of $3 million. We are also preparing to dispatch to Guinea personal protection equipment for health-care personnel and volunteers. Mindful of the broader consequences of the epidemic, including the threat to food security, Russia, in cooperation with the World Food Programme, is preparing to provide food assistance to the three countries most affected to the tune of over $1 million. Our support has made a significant contribution to scientific study of the Ebola virus. Russian experts and specialists have successfully conducted pre-clinical vaccination trials against Ebola. WHO certification is expected, after which, if our assistance is required, we will be ready to provide it.”

“To strengthen the public health-care system in Guinea and Sierra Leone during the Ebola outbreak, Russia financed the purchase and supply to those countries through the WHO of medical modules with a selection of drugs and medical equipment capable of treating 60,000 individuals. Similar modules will be provided over the next few days to Albania, which is one of the States at high risk. In the Donka hospital in Guinea, where those infected with Ebola are hospitalized, a Russian specialized anti-epidemic brigade is deployed. It is composed of highly trained experts and specialists, who, in cooperation with the WHO and Medecins Sans Frontieres, provides assistance to the Ministry of Health of Guinea in organizing activities to counter the epidemic and diagnose Ebola in Russian biological and mobile laboratories.”

“We highly value the selfless efforts of the three States most affected by Ebola, their partners, other Member States and non-governmental organizations aimed at eradicating the disease and providing medical and other assistance to the population. In that respect, we would like to underscore the contributions of Cuba and Medecins Sans Frontieres, which were among the very first to join the ranks of those fighting Ebola directly in West Africa. Guided by the principles of solidarity, friendship with African States and humaneness, from the very first manifestations of the disease, the Russian Federation has been actively involved in providing financial and technical assistance to suffering countries, both multilaterally and on a bilateral basis.”

“Mr. Maksimychev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We, too, would of course like to convey our gratitude to the Secretary-General, the Senior United Nations Coordinator for Ebola and the Director- General of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as the representative of Medecins Sans Frontieres, for their very comprehensive statements. The rapid spread of the Ebola virus on the African continent and its dire consequences are a cause for growing concern, which Russia fully shares. The huge challenge facing Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and a number of other States in the region cannot continue without the coordinated response of the international community. In that respect, we believe that the Council's discussion of this topic is justified and welcome the adoption of resolution 2177 (2014).”
