3. SOUNDBITE (English) Izumi Nakamitsu, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, United Nations:
“This Council once again meets against the devastating backdrop of war in Ukraine with peace very clearly continuing to elude us. Just this morning, reports emerged of a massive wave of missile and drone attacks targeting power facilities in Ukraine, including in the country’s second-largest city Kharkiv, leaving more than one million people without power. There are also reports of impacts on water supply. The scale and scope of this devastation are appalling. The targeting of energy infrastructure providing essential public services is a black-and -white issue—it is simply unacceptable. Civilians and civilian infrastructure must not be targets of indiscriminate attacks. All parties to any armed conflict have a duty to protect civilians in armed conflict, and to ensure compliance with applicable international law, including international humanitarian law. This large-scale destruction and human suffering cannot continue.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Izumi Nakamitsu, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, United Nations:
“Reports related to the use of anti-personnel landmines and the transfer and use of cluster munitions in Ukraine are deeply concerning. Anti-personnel mines, with their inherently indiscriminate nature, have no place in our world; their eradication is imperative, and their use must be unequivocally condemned.”
