1. “I believe we can all agree that such behaviour is utterly unacceptable, and we have a collective duty to take all possible actions to stop Russia from holding the world hostage to its imperialistic appetite. We once again call on Russia to immediately stop its aggression against Ukraine and completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the entire territory of Ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders. That way, the Russian Federation can not only immediately restore peace in Ukraine, but also demonstrate a willingness to return to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”

2. “Intentionally directing attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Slovakia will continue to support all efforts to ensure full accountability for those responsible, including financial accountability through compensation for all damage caused. I also want to remind members that the consequences of Russia’s actions reach far beyond Ukraine. We deplore Russia’s decision to terminate the Black Sea Grain Initiative, followed by increased attacks on Ukrainian ports. With that, Russia is only further exacerbating the global food crisis. Moscow is utterly indifferent to the hundreds of millions of people worldwide facing hunger. Instead, Russia and its representatives continue spreading propaganda and disinformation and, even worse, threatening to use nuclear weapons.”

3. “Russia not only disrespects a sovereign right of its neighbouring country to choose its own future but escalates the situation through so-called elections in temporarily and illegally occupied Ukrainian territories — the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. We strongly condemn that attempt to illegally integrate the territory of Ukraine, whose sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity we fully support. In that regard, I would like to recall that the opinion of the international community on Russia’s shameful aggression has already been expressed. In its resolution of October 2022 (ES-11/4), by its 143 votes, the General Assembly condemned Russia’s malicious conduct. We also express our strong concern about the increasing number of casualties.”

4. “Mr. Wlachovský (Slovakia): I thank the Albanian presidency for convening today’s open debate. We align ourselves with the statement delivered by the representative of the European Union. Bearing in mind the myriad common challenges we face, such as climate change and inequality, it is shameful that we have to meet today to deliberate on such basic indisputable principles as those set out in the Charter of the United Nations. Regrettably, they are being seriously undermined by one Member State — a State in a permanent seat of the Council with specific responsibility for upholding international peace and security. Ukraine, a Member of the United Nations family, is exercising its right to self-defence in accordance with the Charter and its Article 51, due to Russia’s unprovoked, unjustified and illegal war of aggression.”
