00:00We stand united in our solidarity and we jointly call on the Russian Federation to stop the

00:06killing and enter meaningful negotiations with Ukraine.

00:10We remain in unwavering support for Ukraine.

00:14We stand with Ukraine militarily, economically, politically and diplomatically.

00:21We support a just and lasting peace based on international law and UN Charter.

00:27Our support to Ukraine is about making peace a reality.

00:31But progress on a much needed ceasefire and a lasting peaceful settlement remains painfully slow.

00:39Every day of continued fighting undermines the chances for diplomacy to succeed and increases

00:45the dangers of further escalation.

00:47We must admit the world's attention to the UN is fading.

00:52The organization has less influence and too often there is a lack of real decisions on

00:57fundamental issues.

00:59This is exactly what we need to speak about today, about the tools that sadly are not working

01:05now.

01:06But they will work, I'm sure.

01:08They will work if you are active, if we are active abroad in Beijing or somewhere else.

01:19If China truly wanted this war to stop, it could compel Moscow to end the invasion.

01:27Without China, Putin's Russia is nothing.

01:30Yet too often China stays silent and distant instead of active for peace.

01:36Putin is present here as well as a strong nation.

01:41I met with President Trump just now and we spoke about how to finally bring peace and we discussed

01:49a few good ideas and I hope they will work.

01:53And I'm grateful for this meeting.

01:55And we expect America's actions to push Russia toward peace.

02:01Moscow fears America and always pays attention to it.

02:06Instead, it became a warning to the world.

02:11And already with more than 30 nations in our coalition of Willings, we are building a new

02:17security architecture.

02:19We count on the United States of America at a backstop.

02:24Real security guarantees must become the line Russia cannot cross again.

02:31The President has worked on it tirelessly, has invested a tremendous amount of his own

02:35time, energy and the highest levels of our government.

02:39We have had meetings in Turkey, meetings in Saudi Arabia, meetings in Alaska, countless phone

02:44calls.

02:45Doing everything possible to bring this conflict to a resolution and to an end, a war that cannot

02:50end militarily.

02:51It will end at a negotiating table.

02:53He made it among his highest priorities, the restoration of peace anywhere and everywhere.

02:59The President is a very patient man.

03:00He's very committed to peace, but his patient is not infinite.

03:04And as he has said repeatedly, he has before him the opportunity and the options of imposing

03:10additional economic costs on the Russian Federation if necessary in order to bring this to

03:14an end.

03:15This war needs to end.

03:16But if it does not, if there is no path to peace in the short term, then the United States

03:27and President Donald J. Trump will take the steps necessary to impose costs for continued

03:32aggression.

03:33President, since the first day of the crisis, China has been upholding an objective and

03:39impartial position, calling for a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities, and advocating

03:45for peace talks towards a political settlement.

03:48Guided by the four truths put forward by President Xi Jinping, we have maintained close communication

03:54with parties concerned, sent our special envoys for shuttle diplomacy, and together with Brazil

04:00and other countries of the global south, initiated the Group of Friends for Peace in order to consolidate

04:05a cause for peace, promote consensus on peace and advance peace efforts.

04:10It is very much lamentable that the membership of the Security Council has been compelled today

04:15to spend time and be present at a meeting which was initiated by our European colleagues purely to mark the latest

04:22New York stop on a tour of the well-known former actor.

04:30And here we see squeezed in as during the subway at rush hour, where we hear and will continue to hear, mere replicated

04:36statements, which have nothing to do with the truth.

04:42There is no added value for the establishment of peace in Ukraine.

04:52If you accept this inglorious fate, then you continue to do nothing and continue in the same vein.

04:58If not, then there is a great deal of work which lies ahead.

05:02We stand ready to do this work and now it is up to you to make that choice.
