Ukraine has formally rejected the new U.S. peace plan, its deputy representative to the UN confirmed, saying Kyiv received the draft but dismissed its core demands. The proposal would force Ukraine to cede territory and slash its army by more than half—terms Kyiv says mirror Russia’s maximalist conditions. The rejection comes as a Russian strike in western Ukraine killed 26 people, including three children, underscoring the war’s intensifying toll.

00:00Ukraine has officially received from the American side a draft plan.
00:04We outlined the fundamental principles that matter to our people.
00:08We agreed to work on the plan's provisions in a way that would bring about a just end of the war.
00:15As of today's morning, 28 people, including three children, have been confirmed killed,
00:21and 94 injured, including 18 children.
00:2516 people still remain missing.
00:28Deliberate attacks, dozens of cities, hundreds of towns, and thousands of villages razed to the ground.
00:34Millions of people left without heat, light, or water during the harsh winter season.
00:39Since the Council last met on Ukraine in September, the security situation in my country has worsened dramatically.
00:47As we heard from the briefers, the Russian Federation has unleashed an even more brutal campaign of terror against civilians,
00:54relentless daily missile and drone attacks.
00:58Yesterday marked yet another dark chapter in this war, one that will forever stand as a testament to Russia's vicious brutality and disregard for human life.
01:09Russian drones and missiles deliberately targeted residential buildings, the very place where people should feel safest.
01:16This latest strike involved 48 missiles, an enormous barrage, and 476 attack drones.
01:24In the city of Ternopoul, a deliberate direct hit by Russian missile heads destroyed a nine-story residential building.
01:32This is what Russian attacks on military objects mean.
01:35As of today's morning, 28 people, including three children, have been confirmed killed, and 94 injured, including 18 children.
01:4516 people still remain missing.
01:48This is the reality Ukraine is forced to confront every single day.
01:52Attacks against children, women, and elderly, families in their homes, patients in their hospitals, and teachers and students in schools.
02:01Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure, energy facilities, and power grids.
02:06Deliberate attacks, dozens of cities, hundreds of towns, and thousands of villages razed to the ground.
02:12Millions of people left without heat, light, or water during the harsh winter season.
02:17And as a result of the attack by Russia, which took place during this very meeting, at least five have been killed and three more wounded in Zaporizhia.
02:27The human toll is devastating, and the destruction unimaginable.
02:32This is a systematic and deliberate policy aimed at annihilating the Ukrainian people.
02:37Culture, identity, historical heritage, and our right to exist as a free and dignified nation.
02:43This is an attempt to freeze, silence, and extinguish Ukrainian resilience.
02:48This is a state terror and genocide.
02:51Mr. President, Russia's relentless escalation is not only a military assault, but also a blatant renunciation of peace itself.
03:00Every missile it launches is a statement that Moscow prefers escalation over dialogue.
03:05From the very first seconds of Russia's invasion, Ukraine has sought peace, and we support all substantive proposals capable for bringing genuine peace to get closer.
03:16Since the beginning of this year, Ukraine has supported President Trump's proposals aimed at ending the war.
03:23We are ready, as before, to work constructively with the American side, as well as with our European partners, and around the world, so that the outcome is peace.
03:33First, Ukraine has officially received from the American side a draft plan.
03:39We outline the fundamental principles that matter to our people.
03:42We agree to work on the plan's provisions in a way that would bring about a just end of the war.
03:50In this context, allow me to make several critical points.
03:53First, while Ukraine stands ready to engage in meaningful negotiations to end this war, including at the leaders' level, our red lines are clear and unwavering.
04:07There will never be any recognition, formal or otherwise, of Ukrainian territory temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation as Russian.
04:15Our land is not for sale.
04:19Ukraine will not accept any limits on its right to self-defense or on the size and capabilities of our armed forces.
04:27Nor will we tolerate any infringement on our sovereignty, including our sovereign right to choose the alliances we want to join.
04:35Any JNP's process must respect a fundamental principle, nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine, and nothing about Europe without Europe.
04:47And let me be equally clear, we will not reward the genocidal intent that underpins Russian aggression by undermining our identity, including our language.
04:57Second, support for Ukraine is indispensable.
05:02Peace requires strengthened security and sustained financial assistance to Ukraine.
05:08Reinforcing Ukraine's defense capabilities is not an escalation.
05:12It is the only path to compelling Russia to engage constructively in international peace efforts.
05:18In this regard, we express profound gratitude to all partners and allies.
05:23This support is an investment in the rules-based international order and global peace.
05:30Third, the Kremlin regime will not stop unless it is stopped through unyielding and concerted pressure.
05:37There is only one realistic path to ending this war.
05:41Russia must be compelled to retreat economically, politically, and militarily.
05:45If we fail to stop Russia now, its aggression will not end with Ukraine.
05:51It will continue to export war, occupation, and repression.
05:55It will commit more atrocities, torture, inhuman treatment of civilians, and prisoners of war, widespread sexual violence, the abduction of children, the destruction of cultural heritage, and environmental devastation.
06:08Europe has lived through this before, and we must not dare forget those lessons.
06:12History will be a merciless judge if Russia is eventually rewarded of its war of aggression instead of held accountable.
06:22Fourth, the end of the war and the role of this Council.
06:25Ukraine has repeatedly called on this Council to adopt a resolution demanding a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire.
06:33Our people deserve to feel free and protected.
06:36A ceasefire is an essential prerequisite for meaningful negotiations.
06:40It is the first step toward halting Russia's war of aggression and creating space for diplomacy.
06:46We reiterate our call on the Council members to adopt a resolution demanding a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire.
06:54Mr. President, today the world marks World Children's Day and reaffirms that every child has the inherent right to life,
07:01to grow up in a safe environment, to preserve their identity,
07:04to remain with their family whenever possible, and to enjoy their childhood and future.
07:10Yet in Ukraine, Russia's contribution to this global observance is the bodies of Ukrainian children pulled from beneath the rubble.
07:18Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, almost 700 children were killed.
07:23More than 2,000 have been wounded.
07:26Tens of thousands have been forcibly transferred and deported.
07:29Tens of thousands have been forcibly transferred and deported.
