  1. Finally, we fervently appeal to the Council to reiterate its support for the work of the Secretary-General, which will remain vital — both on the humanitarian front and in efforts to move towards a just and lasting peace on the ba- sis of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, especially regarding the principle of territorial integrity. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Ukraine.

  2. As my delegation has expressed, the impact that this war is having on agriculture and rural livelihoods in Ukraine is critical, with losses of household incomes in the tens of billions, the destruction of machinery, equipment, storage facilities, crops, inputs and arable land. Moreover, we are particularly concerned about the situation of girls and boys, including those who are fleeing the war and are displaced, those who are refugees and those that endure violence on a daily basis and lack access to health-care services and education. That will only worsen as winter draws near. We are also closely following the situation of transferred minors. We call for their rights to be protected and their return facilitated.

  3. We call on the Russian Federation, in particular, to facilitate safe humanitarian access to areas under its temporary occupation — especially as winter draws near and the people suffer from a lack of access to basic services, including water, sanitation and health services. We regret that, since the suspension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, the shelling of Ukraine’s port cities and grain transport infrastructure has increased. We recall the need for maritime protection and security and, in particular, the obligation to respect the integrity of civilian vessels. We call for the preservation of food and water supply systems, and we recall that it is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless the objects indispensable for the survival of the civilian population, including agricultural goods and harvests.

  4. In addition to the worsening humanitarian situation in Ukraine, we have seen humanitarian emergencies grow ever more acute in other crises throughout the world, including in my region, as well as in Haiti and in the Middle East, specifically Gaza. Today’s meeting has provided us an opportunity to receive updated information regarding the severe impact that the military aggression against Ukraine continues to have as the conflict threatens to enter its third year in just under three months. We insist on the need for parties to fully respect their obligations under international humanitarian law, including the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution. We also call on the parties to protect humanitarian workers.
