1. “Although it is a part of human nature to hope for the best, given the track record ofbroken ceasefires and the deficit of trust in one of the guarantors ofthe latest one, at this point we would caution the Council to be prudent and to keep a watchful eye on further developments as we enter the new year. As this is hopefully the last time we will meet under the Spanish presidency, let me conclude by expressing our sincere thanks and congratulations to the delegation of Spain for its dedicated efforts and leadership during this difficult month.”

2. “The Ukrainian delegation voted in favour of resolution 2336 (2016) today for one reason, which is that it focuses on establishing a ceasefire regime. While numerous questions linger about the scope and substance of all the understandings reached in Ankara on 29 December, we support all efforts to put an end to the bloodshed and alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people. In that regard, we would like to stress that, in order to make the ceasefire work, the necessary level of confidence and trust - which is clearly missing after so many years of the conflict in Syria - must be established among all the parties. The latest reports of fighting in Wadi Barada testify to the fragility of the situation.”
