CSPAN U.K. Ambassador To U.N. Responds To Russian Annexation Of Ukraine October 11, 2022

Lets close ranks and vote yes, yes for the u. N. System, yes for international solidarity. Thank you. I think the distinguished representative of poland. Mr. President , excellencies. In february, the General Assembly met in an Emergency Special session to condemn russias illegal invasion of ukraine. And today, we meet again to condemn russias sham referenda and attempted illegal annexation of the ukrainian regions. The largest forcible annexation attempt since the second world war. Putin is trying to take ukraines land, its resources, its identity. In doing so, he is overturning the most sacred principle in the international system. That orders cannot be drawn by force. Over seven months into the war, the whole world understands the terrible cost of russias invasion. In ukraine, families count that cost anybodys exhumed from mass graves. In the rubble of flattened towns and the lost education for millions of innocent children. And in the growing list of friends and relatives detained or forcefully deported through russias filtration process. Even this morning, millions across ukraine awoke to the sound of air raid sirens as russia carried out one of the largest bombardments of civilian areas and infrastructure in the war. Around the world, people and governments are suffering from the unaffordable cost of higher food and energy prices. As a result of russias invasion, everyones lives have been made more difficult and more insecure. And here in new york, we also see the cost in terms of damage to the u. N. Charter. The u. N. Charter enshrines the principle that no threat or use of force shall be made against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. We have no way to resolve disputes or achieve the fundamental goals of the u. N. If we concede this principle. If any rogue head of state can, by force or fiat, change the borders of another u. N. Member. This assemblys call to russia since the start of its illegal invasion has been simple end this war and withdraw from ukraine. For the sake of ukraine, russia, and the entire u. N. Membership, we reiterate this call today. We call on russia to end the war and honor the u. N. Charter. Colleagues, at the end of this debate, we will have an opportunity to vote on a resolution to condemn russias socalled referenda and illegal annexation. We urge everyone here to vote in support of international law, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, and the u. N. Charter. We urge all members to vote yes on the resolution. I thank you. Etitive in the 2022 cycle. Sidney asked me cindy axne leads the republican. We are proud to be moderators for tonights debates focusing on i was the third congressional district.
