00:00Dear colleagues!
00:07Around mid-August, journalists accredited to the UN began asking us why Western members
00:14of the Security Council were in no hurry to request a meeting on the situation in Ukraine
00:18this month.
00:19They asked, have the US and its allies really decided to abandon the practice of artificially
00:24keeping the Ukrainian issue afloat in the Security Council?
00:27Regardless of the real needs for its discussion by the Council?
00:33Of course, we could not answer for our Western colleagues.
00:38Although we had some versions.
00:42Their Ukrainian protégés looked too unsightly during the Kursk adventure they unleashed
00:45in August.
00:49As they called the reckless attack of the Zelensky regime on the peaceful Russian border
00:52region in Ukraine itself.
00:54With all the desire, our Western colleagues could not help.
00:59But notice hundreds of testimonies of how enemy nationalists shoot civilians trying
01:05to leave the combat zone in the Kursk region, including pregnant women.
01:09How they hit civilian cars, launch drones at ambulances.
01:13Journalists and volunteers who are trying to save people from Nazi punishers.
01:20How they expertly loot Russian villages and stores and post all of this on the Internet.
01:25How they shell and destroy civilian objects, including residential buildings, schools and
01:29hospitals.
01:31They mock the civilian population and take them hostage.
01:36Demonstratively using Nazi paraphernalia and symbols.
01:39We have already shown some of the video evidence of these crimes during the meeting of the
01:43Security Council members, according to the area formula on August 13, since then.
01:49Their number has only increased.
01:52And all this is happening in a territory where there are no military facilities, where mostly
01:59peaceful women, children and the elderly live.
02:04In addition, there is irrefutable evidence that the Kiev regime deliberately shelled
02:08the Kursk nuclear power plant and planned to seize it in an armed operation.
02:13Such recklessness, which risks provoking a nuclear incident with tragic consequences
02:18for the whole of Europe, is the best response to those who tried and are trying to ignore
02:25the Kiev regime's attack on the Zaporizhzhya NPP.
02:28This is what your unprincipled ostrich position leads to.
02:33Such ostentatious savagery is uncomfortable even for Washington, London and Brussels,
02:37which back in 2014 gave the Kiev Nazis carte blanche to commit any crimes.
02:42The obvious awkwardness of the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime was also increased by the
02:47fact that the Kiev regime did not even try to hide its true face, which stunned many
02:52in the world.
02:53During the attack on the Kursk region, it is clear that all this is far from the best
02:57background for requesting a meeting of the Security Council.
03:01So our Western colleagues waited until the very end of the month.
03:05And they made their move at the very last moment, hoping that the plan of the leader
03:09of the Kiev regime would at least somehow become clear by this time.
03:14And at least some positive results for Ukraine would appear from his adventurous decision.
03:19However, the meaning of the suicidal Kursk adventure of the expired Ukrainian president
03:25has not become clearer.
03:27The results are even worse.
03:29In fact, Ukraine, at the cost of huge losses in manpower and Western equipment, for some
03:34reason holds several villages in the Kursk region, diverting scarce reserves to this,
03:40including from the eastern direction, where the front of the armed forces of Ukraine has
03:45finally collapsed due to this strategic mistake.
03:48The pace of advance of Russian troops there has accelerated significantly, every day we
03:52are liberating more and more settlements in Donbas.
03:56In the last few days alone, Timofeevka, Novoselovka-Pervaya, Vysyoloye, Lysichnoye, Ivanovka, Sergeyevka,
04:03Sviridonovka, Zhelanoye, Mizhevoye, Artemovo, Kamyshevka, Orlovka, Konstantinovka, Novogradovka,
04:10Kalinovo, and Memryk have been liberated, among others.
04:15The village of Novgorodskoye, which managed to be New York for three years under the Maidan
04:23government, was recently liberated.
04:26Our units have already entered such strategically important settlements as Selidovo and Oretsk,
04:31which will soon become Dzerzhinsk, as well as Karlovka, which are located on the approaches
04:36to the most important transport and logistics hub in Pokrovsk, which will soon again become
04:41Krasnormysk.
04:48The average area of territory liberated daily in August more than doubled compared to July
04:53and amounted to 11.2 square kilometers.
04:56In recent days, this figure has grown to almost 30 square kilometers, it is important to understand
05:04that, in the absence of reserves transferred to the Kursk region by Ukraine, Russian troops
05:08are now liberating the last strongholds that the Ukrainians have consistently strengthened
05:13and held since 2014, and this is only the beginning, Ukraine will have to pay in full
05:17for the Kursk adventure, therefore, we understand very well with what a heavy heart the Western
05:25accomplices of the Zelensky regime requested today's meeting, but the United States and
05:29its satellites also need to keep in mind the fact that Ukraine is fighting with Western
05:34weapons in the Kursk region, they no longer have their own weapons, they are using and
05:38losing German and American tanks, they are hitting peaceful cities with Western artillery
05:44and multiple launch rocket systems, and in the Kursk forests and fields, Western mercenaries
05:49and consultants are fighting and dying, without whom the Ukrainians can no longer do anything,
05:54and this means that the complicity of Western countries in the crimes of the Kiv regime
05:58has become even more obvious to everyone, we will discuss this topic in detail on August
06:0330 at a meeting on the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, therefore, it would be naive to
06:08expect any objective and humane assessment of the actions of Nazi murderers, terrorists
06:14and looters from the United States and their NATO allies, for such cases, our Western colleagues
06:21have a well-worn record about Kiv's right to self-defense and protection from Russian
06:26aggression, today, these words sounded especially false in this hall, and I think that these
06:31words will be heard here again, true, the US representative said in this hall this morning,
06:37and I quote, that no member of the Security Council, faced with a brutal terrorist organization
06:43on its border, will tolerate daily attacks or put up with the displacement of tens of
06:50thousands of its citizens from this area, but the US reserves this position exclusively
06:56for Israel, Washington has long since ignored crimes against Russia as a whole, Mr. Chairman,
07:08the reckless Kursk adventure of the Ukrainian president has another practical consequence,
07:12as you remember, in June, the Russian president made a peace proposal to Ukraine, reflecting
07:17the real situation on the front and taking into account the genesis of the Ukrainian
07:22crisis, for some time after that, the rhetoric of the Kiv leaders became more peaceful, and
07:28many of our colleagues from the countries of the Global South rushed to the rash conclusion,
07:32that we were approaching the stage of peace negotiations, colleagues, those of you, who
07:37reasoned this way did not take into account the inability of the Kiv regime to negotiate,
07:43which it demonstrated both in the case of the Minsk agreements, and with the draft peace
07:47treaty initialed in Istanbul in 2022, and this time, the Kiv regime, having deceived
07:54all those with whom it discussed peace, clearly chose escalation by attacking the Kursk region,
08:01and thus this removed all questions, I hope that no one has any illusions about this anymore,
08:07we had none, and therefore we continue to implement the goals of our special military
08:13operation by military means, establishing peace in Ukraine, in, which the Zelensky regime
08:18is not interested, dear colleagues, in conclusion, I would like to call on all those UN members
08:25whom Washington and its allies are actively trying to lure into geopolitical games today,
08:30bribing the elites and setting them against their neighbors and other influential world
08:34players, look at the unenviable example of Ukraine, and then you will understand, what
08:39this can lead to, from the richest of the post-Soviet republics with impressive industrial
08:44potential, it almost immediately migrated to the category of one of the poorest states
08:48of the former USSR, it destroyed its economy, industry, it greedily sold off land to Western
08:54corporations, it became a testing ground for American biological laboratories, and now
08:59also a testing ground for new Western weapons, and for the disposal of old ones.
09:04The introduction of the so-called Western-style democracy has led to a complete lack of freedom
09:10of speech, and more recently to a lack of freedom of religion, to thousands of political
09:14prisoners, to the establishment of a dictatorship of a president, who not only failed to fulfill
09:20a single one of his pre-election promises about peace, but who brought the country to
09:25a suicidal war with Russia for Western geopolitical interests, for whom Ukraine plays the role
09:30of a private military company, and in the end, the head of the Kiev junta also trampled
09:36and trampled the constitution of his country, refusing to hold elections, and today he throws
09:42hundreds of thousands of his citizens into a senseless meat grinder, essentially solely
09:47in order to stay in power, this is a truly disappointing result with, which Ukraine approached
09:52the 33rd anniversary of its independence, this is the price of those mistakes and miscalculations
09:57that were made by the Ukrainian leadership to please the West, apparently, realizing
10:02this, this year Western countries, unlike previous years, even decided to do without
10:07any actions in support of Ukraine at the UN headquarters in New York on Ukrainian Independence
10:12Day, instead, the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime preferred to spend time in prosperous
10:17Geneva discussing the anniversary of international humanitarian law, the provisions of which
10:24their Ukrainian protégés were at that very moment grossly violating in the Kursk region,
10:29I would like to believe that from the bloody Ukrainian tragedy provoked by the United States
10:34and its NATO allies, all, who may find themselves in a similar situation will learn the appropriate
10:39lessons, thank you for your attention.
