“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.

Opening remarks by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on Artificial Intelligence and International Peace and Security – Security Council, 10005th meeting.

"I thank the Republic of Korea for convening this high-level open debate at a decisive moment for global cooperation on Artificial Intelligence.

AI is no longer a distant horizon – it is here, transforming daily life, the information space, and the global economy at breathtaking speed.

The question is not whether AI will influence international peace and security, but how we will shape that influence.

Used responsibly, AI can strengthen prevention and protection:

Anticipating food insecurity and displacement;

Supporting de-mining;

Helping identify potential outbreaks of violence.

And so much more.

But without guardrails, it can also be weaponized.

Recent conflicts have become testing grounds for AI-powered targeting and autonomy.

AI-enabled cyberattacks can disrupt or destroy critical infrastructure in minutes.

The ability to fabricate and manipulate audio and video threatens information integrity, fuels polarization, and can trigger diplomatic crises.

And the massive energy and water demands of large-scale models, coupled with competition over critical minerals, are creating new drivers of tension.

Excellencies,

Innovation must serve humanity – not undermine it.

Last month, the General Assembly established an Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence and an annual Global Dialogue on AI Governance.

This is a recognition of the unique convening power of the UN.

Together, these initiatives aim to connect science, policy and practice;
Provide every country a seat at the table;

And reduce fragmentation.

They represent practical tools to make AI safer, more inclusive, and more accountable.

I will soon launch an open call for nominations for the Scientific Panel.

I urge all Member States to nominate eminent, diverse experts and support the Panel’s expertise, independence and regional balance – with the resources needed for timely, science-based assessments.

I also call on governments and stakeholders to engage fully in the Global Dialogue, and to shape inclusive, human-rights-based global norms.

Excellencies,

Today, I wish to focus on four priorities.

First, we must ensure human control over the use of force.

Let us be clear: humanity’s fate cannot be left to an algorithm.

Humans must always retain authority over life-and-death decisions.

The Council and Member States must ensure that military use of AI remains in full compliance with international law and the Charter. Human control and judgment must be preserved in every use of force.

I reiterate my call for a ban on lethal autonomous weapons systems operating without human control, with a view to concluding a legally binding instrument by next year.

And, until nuclear weapons are eliminated, any decision on their use must rest with humans – not machines.

Second, we must build coherent global regulatory frameworks.

From design to deployment to decommissioning, AI systems must always comply with international law.

Military uses must be clearly regulated: through legal reviews, human accountability, and strong safeguards against misuse.

We need greater transparency, confidence-building, and cooperation to reduce risks – especially in conflict zones.

AI must never lower barriers to acquiring or using prohibited weapons or undermine disarmament obligations.

I welcome the Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain initiative and commend your leadership in these efforts.

Last December, the General Assembly adopted a resolution on AI in the military domain and its implications for international peace and security.

Building on that, I presented a report to the General Assembly recommending States to take concrete steps to initiate a dedicated and inclusive process to address this issue.

I urge Member States to take this forward.

Third, we must protect information integrity in situations of conflict and insecurity.

The UN Global Principles for Information Integrity provide a foundation for coordinated action.

Governments, platforms, media and civil society must cooperate to detect and deter AI-generated deception – from disinformation campaigns to deepfakes targeting peace processes, humanitarian access and elections.

We need transparency in the entire AI life cycle;

Rapid and verified attribution of information sources and their dissemination;

And systemic safeguards to prevent AI systems from spreading disinformation and igniting violence.

Excellences,

Fourth and finally, we must close the AI capacity gap…"
