Ukraine's foreign minister on Wednesday urged the world's nations to vote in favor of a U.N. resolution calling for a peace that ensures his war-ravaged country's 'sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity.'
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba addresses the eleventh emergency special session of the General Assembly, Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023 at United Nations headquarters. Ukraine's foreign minister on Wednesday urged the world's nations as the anniversary of Russia's invasion nears to prove they stand for the United Nations Charter and vote in favor of a U.N.
Calling this "a decisive moment to show support, unity and solidarity," he recalled standing in the assembly urging its member nations to prevent war days before Russia's Feb. 24, 2022 invasion. Against all odds, he said, Ukraine exercised its right to self-defense enshrined in the U.N. Charter and has been able "to stop the much stronger aggressor and kick him out of half of the newly occupied territory.
If countries don't want to take Ukraine's side, Kuleba urged them to take the side of the U.N. Charter, international law and five General Assembly resolutions adopted since the invasion and stand up for the preservation of every country's territorial integrity. Guterres called Russia's invasion "an affront to our collective conscience" that violates the U.N. Charter and challenges "the cornerstone principles and values of our multilateral system."
"The possible consequences of a spiraling conflict are a clear and present danger," Guterres warned, pointing to the irresponsible military activity at Europe's largest nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia, implicit threats to use nuclear weapons, and increasing regional instability and global tensions and divisions.
