1. “We should not allow Pyongyang to continue discrediting the role of the Security Council in the context of global non-proliferation efforts. Ukraine remains ready for constructive work with all delegations on this issue, including on a new draft resolution with more robust and operational measures, to ensure positive changes in the current situation and to move closer to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.”

2. “I wish to recall Ukraine's previously stated position that the Council should find ways to increase international pressure on the North Korean regime to respond to its reckless behaviour, which continues unabated. We believe that only robust decisions and steps on the part of the Council can put an end to the systematic and brutal violations of international law and eliminate the growing nuclear threat on the continent. We also fully believe in the necessity of further fostering neighbouring States' defence capabilities against that threat. We cannot wait until the next nuclear test or missile launch. Challenges related to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear and missile ambitions should be addressed collectively, decisively and without further delay.”

3. “The irresponsible North Korean policy has already seriously undermined the non-proliferation regime as a whole. The current developments on the Korean peninsula raise three rhetorical but essential questions. Does Pyongyang hear the signals from the Security Council? Are those signals strong and clear enough? How much time is left before a North Korean ICBM. is equipped with a nuclear warhead and successfully deployed? Needless to say, the Council should use every instrument at its disposal to ensure the full implementation of its decisions. At the same time, we cannot but recognize that the existing sanctions regime appears to be inefficient in preventing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea from acquiring the technologies, materials, equipment and financial resources for the further development of its nuclear programme.”

4. “We thank the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea for initiating the Council's urgent briefing on the recent missile launch of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as well as the presidency for promptly convening such a meeting. I also thank Assistant-Secretary-General Miroslav Jenca for his briefing on this alarming issue. Indeed, the beginning of 2017 has already become another unprecedented period of North Korean destabilization and unlawful actions. The recent launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on 4 July contributed enormously to the growing nuclear threat in the region. Despite immense political and diplomatic efforts to halt the North Korean weapons- of-mass-destruction programmes, we have seen no Sign whatsoever that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's intends to change its behaviour.”
