FILE - NEW YORK CITY

1. Wide shot, exterior United Nations Headquarters

25 JULY 2024, NEW YORK CITY

2. Various shots, Security Council
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Adedeji Ebo, Deputy to the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, United Nations:
“The provision of military assistance and transfer of arms and ammunition to the armed forces of Ukraine has continued in the context of the full scale invasion of that country launched by the Russian Federation on 24th February 2022, in violation of the UN Charter and international law.”
4. Wide shot, Council
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Adedeji Ebo, Deputy to the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, United Nations:
“In addition, there have been reports of states transferring or planning to transfer weapons such as uncrewed aerial vehicles, ballistic missiles, and ammunition to the Russian Armed Forces and that these weapons have been used in Ukraine.”
6. Wide shot, Council
7. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Vasily Nebenzya Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Russian Federation:
“The situation of the Ukrainian army is so catastrophic, that in recent days, we have seen a number of statements from the leaders of the Kyiv regime who have hastily put on sheep's clothing and now claim that they are supposedly ready to engage in peace talks with Russia. We have heard such statements from the Kyiv ringleader himself who has lost all legitimacy as well as his subordinates.”
8. Wide shot, Council
9. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Vasily Nebenzya Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Russian Federation:
“We would ask that you find out the details of his epiphany. It's possible that his views have not changed at all. And if he is finally ready to talk about peace, then he has the peace proposals put forth by the Russian President a month ago and we advise him to hurry because Ukraine will certainly not be offered anything better at this point. And there is absolutely no way that it will get a break on the battlefield in the form of a preliminary ceasefire. We have seen on the example of the Minsk agreements that such arrangements with Ukraine cannot be trusted.”
10. Wide shot, United States Ambassador Robert Wood addressing Council
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Robert A. Wood, Alternate Representative for Special Political Affairs in the United Nations, United States:
“China's so called No Limits partnership, and large scale support is propping up the Russian defence industrial base. Despite its calls on countries not to prolong the conflict China is exporting to Russia nitrocellulose, which for those who don't know is a highly flammable compound, machine tools, micro-electronics, optics, and UAV and cruise missile technology that are prolonging and enabling Russia's violation of the UN Charter through its invasion of Ukraine. Russia deploys its acquisitions from China in attacks that kill civilians and destroy Ukraine's infrastructure.”
12. Wide shot, China’s Ambassador Fu Cong addressing Council
13. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Fu Cong, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, China:
“I wish to reiterate that China is not the creator of the Ukrainian crisis, much less a party to it. However, we have not stood by with folded arms. On the contrary, we have all along insisted on promoting peace and negotiation and pushing for a political solution which the international community can bear witness. And this is not something that the United States can write off simply by resorting to slandering and a few untruths. China has never poured oil on the fire or taken advantage of the situation, nor has it provided lethal weapons to any party to the conflict. China exercises strict control of military and the civilian dual use items.”

Storyline

Following a briefing from a top disarmament official, who told the Security Council that weapon transfers have continued to both Russia and Ukraine, Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya called on Ukraine’s leaders to 
accept a peace proposal put forth by the Russian Federation, “because Ukraine will certainly not be offered anything better at this point.”

Deputy to the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Adedeji Ebo said, “the provision of military assistance and transfer of arms and ammunition to the armed forces of Ukraine has continued in the context of the full scale invasion of that country launched by the Russian Federation on 24th February 2022, in violation of the UN Charter and international law.”

In addition, Ebo said, “there have been reports of states transferring or planning to transfer weapons such as uncrewed aerial vehicles, ballistic missiles, and ammunition to the Russian Armed Forces and that these weapons have been used in Ukraine.”

Nebenzya told the Council that “the situation of the Ukrainian army is so catastrophic, that in recent days, we have seen a number of statements from the leaders of the Kyiv regime who have hastily put on sheep's clothing and now claim that they are supposedly ready to engage in peace talks with Russia.”

He said, “if he is finally ready to talk about peace, then he has the peace proposals put forth by the Russian President a month ago and we advise him to hurry because Ukraine will certainly not be offered anything better at this point. And there is absolutely no way that it will get a break on the battlefield in the form of a preliminary ceasefire. We have seen on the example of the Minsk agreements that such arrangements with Ukraine cannot be trusted.”

For his part, United States Ambassador Robert Wood told the Council that “China's so called No Limits partnership, and large scale support is propping up the Russian defence industrial base,” and said “China is exporting to Russia nitrocellulose, which for those who don't know is a highly flammable compound, machine tools, micro-electronics, optics, and UAV and cruise missile technology that are prolonging and enabling Russia's violation of the UN Charter through its invasion of Ukraine.”

China’s Ambassador Fu Cong reiterated that “China is not the creator of the Ukrainian crisis, much less a party to it.”

However, he said, “we have not stood by with folded arms. On the contrary, we have all along insisted on promoting peace and negotiation and pushing for a political solution which the international community can bear witness. And this is not something that the United States can write off simply by resorting to slandering and a few untruths.”
