“We cannot afford to lose the current, fragile diplomatic momentum,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres told a high-level Security Council briefing on Ukraine, as he reiterated his appeal for “a full, comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, “Each day Russia kills our people, destroys our cities and leaves no sign it will ever return to the principles of the UN Charter.” He also said, “If China truly wanted this war to stop, it could compel Moscow to end the invasion.”
Zelenskyy also called for building a “new security architecture” with Britain, France, and more than other 40 countries. He said Ukraine counts on the United States as a backstop, arguing that stronger joint air defenses would force Russia to halt its missile and drone strikes. “If there is no war in the sky, Russia can’t keep fighting on the ground,” he said.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco A. Rubio underscored Washington’s commitment to Ukraine, “The President is a very patient man. He’s very committed to peace, but his patience is not infinite,” Rubio said, referring to Donald Trump. He noted the United States could impose “additional economic costs” on Russia or expand arms sales to Ukraine if diplomacy fails. “This war needs to end,” Rubio said.
Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative Dmitry Polyansky said Russian speakers in Ukraine face persecution and denial of their identity, while “so-called European democracies are clapping and cheering, basically alleging that Russia is trampling upon Ukrainian identity. This is a big lie, and we never had such an objective.”
At the stakeout before the Security Council meeti, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha reiterated Kyiv’s and allies’ demand for negotiations. “We stand united in our solidarity, and we jointly call on the Russian Federation to stop the killing and enter meaningful negotiations with Ukraine,” he said.
