Storyline

Ahead of a ministerial-level Security Council meeting on multilateral cooperation chaired by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Ukrainian Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya today (16 Jul) said, “the topic of debate is another clear demonstration of Russia's hypocrisy.”

Talking to reporters outside the Council chambers, Kyslytsya said the meeting was being held “against the background of its brutal war of aggression against Ukraine.”

He said “today's meeting must not distract the international community from Russia's flagrant violations of the UN charter and its of use of the UN Security Council, while cynically attempting to present to present itself as the guardian of the multilateral order.”

The statement was read out on behalf of the governments of Ukraine, Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Federal States of), Monaco, Montenegro, the Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Republic of Moldova, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and the European Union.

The open debate on “Multilateral cooperation in the interest of a more just, democratic and sustainable world order” under the “Maintenance of international peace and security” agenda item, is one of the signature events of Russia’s July Council presidency.
