“The Mission's support in terms of addressing the issues of protection of human rights, vulnerable groups and cultural heritage, as well as the problems related to missing persons and violent extremism, is both needed and appreciated. Ukraine is convinced that those and other important tasks should remain among the priorities of the reconfigured UNMIK. In that regard, we unreservedly join the calls for starting focused discussion on the reduction of the Mission and for reconsidering the regularity of the Council's briefings on Kosovo.”

“We hope that it will soon translate into tangible measures. We share the concern of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General at the incidents of violence and desecration in various parts of Kosovo. Those crimes point to the importance of intensified efforts aimed at improving the rule of law and the execution of justice. We appreciate the valuable work carried out by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and other international partners in Kosovo in strengthening security and stability. We also commend UNMIK for engaging with local authorities, civil society, youth and other stakeholders in Kosovo to promote intercommunity cooperation, and for building trust and fostering societal reconciliation.”

“We encourage the leadership in Belgrade and Pristina to show responsibility and to re-engage in a constructive dialogue to achieve progress in the normalization of their bilateral relations, which is essential for both, but first and foremost for the residents of Kosovo. No nationalistic or divisive discourse will do any good for the region. Ukraine welcomes the resumption of the high-level European Union-facilitated dialogue and the meeting of Serbian President Vueic' with Mr. Thaci, hosted by the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in July. We hope that the agreement reached to start a new phase of dialogue for the normalization ofrelations and reconciliation will be implemented in the short term. In that regard, we took note of President Vucie's initiative to launch an internal dialogue on Kosovo.”

“This stalemate creates unnecessary tensions and could undermine efforts aimed at preserving peace and stability in the region. We call on the leaders of Kosovo to show unity and to prove their readiness to meet the immediate and long- term challenges, including economic development, addressing the energy situation, strengthening the rule of law, relations with Serbia and so forth. Ukraine also hopes that new authorities will give priority to the implementation of the agreements concluded in the framework of the European Union-led dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, including on the establishment of the association/community of Serb- majority municipalities.”

“I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Tanin, for his briefing. It clearly outlines the political challenges in Kosovo following the early legislative elections, as well as the number of issues relevant to the stability and well-being of Kosovo residents. I am also grateful to His Excellency Mr. Ivica Dacic, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, and to Ms. Vlora Citaku, for their statements. Ukraine regrets that the political situation in Kosovo remains a matter of concern due to the inability of political groups to reach an agreement on the distribution of posts, which is a necessary precondition for setting up an effective Administration.”

“efforts, which would be aimed, first of all, at building the capacities of its member States. It is also a matter of crucial importance to keep pace with and increase the dynamic ofprojects that would energize the economic sector as well as enhance security measures.”

“Triggered from outside and accompanied by foreign military interference, such conflicts can find a peaceful resolution exclusively on the basis of the generally accepted norms and principles of international law, particularly those related to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the States concerned within their internationally recognized borders. The activities of GUAM. during the ongoing Ukrainian chairmanship have encompassed a number of projects and programmes aimed at the creation of a zone of stability and cooperation in the region. As already mentioned, since the occupation of Crimea Ukraine has faced an expanded Russian aggression of hybrid character on its eastern borders, accompanied by an unprecedented media campaign. Therefore, we look forward more than ever to obtaining further support for GUAM.”

“are in line with basic United Nations approaches to regional cooperation, creating political stability and economic prosperity, allowing universal values to take hold and establishing a peaceful and promising civil society that enables personal fulfilment. All our member States suffer from unresolved conflicts, some ofwhich have existed for decades. Those conflicts undermine peace, security and cooperation and generate impacts both at the regional level and in their trans-Atlantic dimension.”

“One example I could mention is the ongoing projects with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), such as the Afghan Opiate Trade Project of the UNODC and the joint GUAM/UNODC project in combatting money-laundering, as well as in seizing and confiscating criminal proceeds. GUAM also plans to develop cooperation with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. The political cooperation of GUAM. member States is based on their common vision and well- rooted traditions. The statutory documents and summit declarations of GUAM.”

“I would like to underscore that Ukraine fully recognizes the important role that OSCE plays in observing the implementation of the Minsk agreements. At the same time, achieving a comprehensive settlement and lasting peace in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions requires additional efforts, including the involvement of available international means and tools. In recent years, cooperation between the United Nations and the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development-GUAM, which Ukraine chairs this year, has developed with General Assembly resolution 69/271 on United Nations-GUAM cooperation.”

“In the case of the EU, that might be achieved by making effective use of the existing common security and defence policy tools, including by better linking them to the EU's foreign affairs, humanitarian assistance and solidarity. In terms of the Russian aggression in Ukraine, we still think that the EU Common Security and Defence Policy crisis management operation could be one of the appropriate solutions, not only allowing for the maintainance of peace and security, but also facilitating political processes, protecting civilians and human rights, and assisting in restoring the rule of law. We believe that if our suggestion were implemented, it could enhance the arsenal of measures already in place to make Russia abide by the rules and live in peace with its neighbours.”

“Moreover, Russia continues to consolidate its aggression despite its own commitments to de-escalation under the Minsk agreements. In the current circumstances, we believe that the capacity of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission should be strengthened, including by increasing the level of cooperation with the United Nations. In that respect, we look forward to hearing from the Secretary- General on how the United Nations can assist the OSCE in contributing to the implementation of the Minsk agreement, in particular with regard to his idea to establish a relevant United Nations office in Ukraine. The development of a strong partnership between the United Nations and the European Union is increasingly critical as global crises intensify in complexity and multiply in scope.”

“We highly appreciate the work of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission, in line with the agreed mandate covering the entire territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. The Mission enjoys Ukraine's full support in the implementation of its tasks, in particular those related to monitoring and verification under the Minsk agreements. We regret the fact that, despite significant international efforts, the situation on the ground remains tense and volatile, with casualties among Ukrainian servicemen and civilians on the rise due to a surge in the activity of Russia-backed militants. Although we have made active use of the crisis mechanisms of the United Nations and the OSCE, that has not prevented the illegal occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol, or direct Russian military involvement in the Donbas.”

“Unfortunately, today we can add to that list a brutal violation of the Charter of the United Nations by one of the permanent members of the Security Council. Soon it will be a year and a half that Ukraine has been subject to Russian aggression. The Council is well aware of the outcomes - Crimea and Sevastopol have been forcibly annexed, while the Donbas has been plunged into violence, with thousands killed, over 1 million displaced and regional infrastructure destroyed. The contribution of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has been an important part of the international community's response to the threats arising from Russia's aggression against Ukraine.”

“Deep cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations is a vital element in the contemporary world, where the international community is facing such complex challenges. We firmly support the efforts of the United Nations to strengthen its relations with regional organizations, with the ultimate goal of achieving a concrete, positive impact on the political and socioeconomic development of the regions. In 2015, we are marking the seventieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War and of the signing of the Charter of the United Nations. Throughout these 70 years, the United Nations has faced numerous and complex challenges, including terrorism and extremism, conflicts, poverty, unemployment, inequality and climate change.”

“I thank you, Madam, for convening this important thematic debate. Ukraine aligns itself with the statement made by the observer of the European Union (EU). At the same time I would like to make a statement in my national capacity. Numerous conflicts throughout the world have created an environment in which the United Nations alone cannot respond effectively to emerging threats to international peace and security. In that regard, I would like to underscore that Chapter VIII is as relevant today as ever. Regional organizations, with their experience in the peaceful settlement of disputes, including through conflict prevention, confidence-building and mediation, are strengthening the capacity of the United Nations.”
