00:00The meeting of the Security Council is called to order in accordance with rule
00:182025 has been one of the deadliest for the people of Ukraine.
00:24Civilian casualties between January and November this year were 24% higher compared to the
00:32same period in 2024.
00:35These figures continue to increase as the Russian Federation escalates its aerial attacks
00:41across Ukraine.
00:44The changing nature of the war, the pattern of injuries is also changing.
00:50In the past, most victims in mine-affected countries were injured from below by stepping
00:56on a device buried in the ground.
00:59Today in Ukraine, injuries increasingly come from above.
01:04The massive and systematic use of explosive drones has effectively moved minefields into
01:11the air.
01:13In addition to minefields on the ground, we now face what can only be described as minefields
01:18in the sky, indiscriminately killing and maiming civilians.
01:36If we place the numbers of energy imports side-by-side with Russia's military budget last year, estimated
01:43at around US$145 billion, the picture becomes unmistakably clear.
01:50The purchases of Russian energy by just three biggest consumers exceeded by far the entirety
01:57of Russia's annual defense spending.
02:00In other words, due to the absence of UN-mandated sanctions and absence ensured, of course,
02:07by Moscow's abuse of veto in this Council, a number of states are effectively sustaining
02:13Putin's war machine through their growing imports of Russian oil, gas and coal.
02:21We call upon the European Union, the United States of America and all other peace-loving countries
02:32to introduce massive secondary sanctions against all those countries who keep supporting Russia's
02:38war-making machine.
02:40The broader the coalition of states that refuse to subsidize Russian aggression through energy
02:47imports, the sooner this war will come to an end.
02:50I thank the representative of United States for the statement.
02:58And for the record, the Ukrainians already paid the ужасную цену, but they want to
03:02make them pay even more, by throwing on the streets, not wanting to fight men and throwing
03:09them in the innocent murder of the murder of the chicken.
03:12Someone from the initiator of this meeting can formally formulate why the Ukrainians
03:17are forced to fight against their will, when they are on the table are quite realistic
03:22suggestions about the long-term and stable regulation of the Ukrainian conflict,
03:26on which our American colleagues are closely working.
03:30What do they want to achieve the European curators of Ukraine, who perfectly understands the real
03:38and catastrophic situation for this country on the field of war?
03:44The rising humanitarian cost of this war, particularly against women and children, is unacceptable, and it will ripple through for decades across the region.
04:05Meanwhile, as the winter continues to grow colder and darker, strikes in populated areas and against Ukraine's
04:13energy grid continue, leaving millions without heat and power.
04:19The killing must stop.
04:21Both sides must choose peace.
04:24Too much for too long.
04:27They deserve to return to their homes and to rebuild their lives and their country.
04:32This is a war that President Putin started.
04:36He could, if he wished, end it at any time by ceasing his full-scale invasion.
04:45We continue to hope that Russia will engage seriously with peace talks.
04:50But despite the genuine efforts of partners to mediate, Russia's campaign against Ukraine has
04:56only intensified in its brutality.
04:58The representative of the United Kingdom, for the statement and I…
05:05So the meeting is adjourned.
