Ukraine · Day 2Volodymyr ZelenskyyThank you so much.
Ladies and gentlemen, this morning on my way to New York, somewhere in the sky over the big and beautiful Atlantic Ocean, I read President Trump's post on truce Social.
The President wrote that Russia has lost control of its diesel oil industry due to its war with Ukraine.

Estonia · Day 2Alar KarisLadies and gentlemen, One of the biggest tests for the UN's relevance is Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
For more than 12 years ago, since the illegal annexation of Crimea and occupation of eastern Ukraine in 2014, a permanent member of the Security Council, the Russian Federation, has been perpetrating a war of aggression at the very heart of Europe.
But aggression disregards the principles of the United Nations Charter to its very core.

Romania · Day 2Nicuşor-Daniel DanWe are a credible and reliable partner, ready to contribute to shared prosperity.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have entered the fifth year of the illegal, unprovoked, and unjustified full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine waged by a permanent member of the Security Council.
This member entrusted by the entire UN community with the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security, has deliberately disavowed its fundamental obligation and is pursuing a revisionist agenda.

Bulgaria · Day 2Iliana IotovaThe main challenge remains the war against Ukraine, the consequences of which have spilled far beyond the immediate combat zone.
Can we resolve this problem?
Can we find a solution?

Poland · Day 2Karol NawrockiLadies and gentlemen, for many years, representatives of my country have been trying in this chamber and in the Security Council to point out that a situation in which a permanent member of the Council, Russia, attempts unsuccessfully but with ruthless persistence to conquer a neighboring state and destabilize the entire region is violation of the principles we all uphold as signatories to the Charter of the United Nations.
Russia is destabilizing the situation in Europe through open aggression, hybrid operations, acts of subversion and sabotage, and by ignoring successive resolutions of this Assembly.
It displays the same imperial arrogance that in the past led to unimaginable suffering and the tragedies of two world wars.

Czechia · Day 2Petr PavelThis includes using its influence to help bring Russia's aggression against Ukraine to an end.
That aggression was launched and continues to be waged by another permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia, in violation of the UN Charter and fundamental principles of international law.
Russia's aggression continues to inflict enormous suffering on the Ukrainian people.

Italy · Day 2Antonio TajaniA world as complex as ours can be governed in only two ways, through shared rules or through the law of the strongest.
Italy has made its choice.
Italy stands for rules, dialogue, and policy.

Serbia · Day 2Aleksandar VučićHow many times over the past two days from this Rose Room Have you heard calls and appeals for observance of the principles of international public law, particularly when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, while the majority of those same countries shamelessly and recklessly remain silent about the fact that they themselves participated in trampling the Charter and destroying the foundations of the international public law system?
And today they would at any cost like to return to those principles now that they see that more powerful and stronger ones have resorted to the very same violations that they themselves carried out when they were the most powerful and the strongest.
Here I am referring to all the countries that recognized the unilaterally declared independence of the so-called Kosovo and without any basis whatsoever in international legal documents attempted to seize 14% of the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

Timor-Leste · Day 2José Ramos-HortaThe Berlin Wall collapsed, apartheid ended.
But the seeds of future wars were sown, just as NATO and Gorbachev inked the post-Cold War arrangements.
The ink had not even dried, and NATO began its fast eastbound expansion.

Honduras · Day 2Nasry Juan Asfura ZablahThese principles are neither selective nor biased.
I visited Ukraine three months ago.
There, I saw a people defending its freedom and fighting for it.

Palau · Day 2Surangel WhippsIt is the freedom to cooperate through mutual respect, transparency, accountability, dialogue, and international law.
This principle matters because we have seen what can happen when tensions build, when concerns are ignored, and when channels for dialogue are left too narrow for the challenges before us.
The Russia Ukraine war is a painful reminder of the tragic human toll that occurs when diplomacy gives way to conflict and how challenging it is to deescalate tensions once violence erupts.

Panama · Day 2José Raúl Mulino QuinteroWe are at a turning point in our history.
The election of the next Secretary-General will be of paramount importance to determine the next agenda, to ensure robust, lasting trust, of course, in the understanding of the new global balance, if you can call it that.
That is why we believe that the war in Ukraine must end.

Slovakia · Day 2Peter PellegriniThe war in Ukraine, now in its fifth year, continues to bring destruction close to Slovakia's borders.
Attacks on civilian areas and critical infrastructure remain unacceptable.
A ceasefire is still distant, and lasting peace even further away.

Spain · Day 2Pedro Sánchez Pérez-CastejónAnd I believe, what's more, that in order for her not to be alone, she will also need the support of brave governments who are prepared to do things right.
however high the price to pay may be.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the option and the way forward that Spain has chosen.

Andorra · Day 2Xavier Espot ZamoraIt is precisely for this reason that we continue to firmly defend the need to uphold the Charter of the UN and international law.
We also support more than ever the efforts of the International Criminal Court to identify those responsible for the gravest crimes, and we condemn any act of aggression, once again and unambiguously, that violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a state.
In this sense, we continue to express our solidarity with the people of Ukraine in the face of the consequences of a war that has lasted for far too long already, and we reiterate our support for efforts aimed at achieving a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the UN and international law.
