Remarks by H. E. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, on the situation in the Ukraine

Briefing the Security Council on the situation in Ukraine, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary A. DiCarlo said “the UN underlines the need to fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders, in accordance with relevant General Assembly and Security Council resolutions.”

She urged “all parties to display the necessary political will and to recommit to the full implementation of the Minsk Agreements to ensure the earliest possible end to the conflict and help bring about peace and stability to all of Ukraine.”

The UN Political Affairs chief also noted Despite efforts made, there has been little progress in talks to end the fighting in Ukraine. She stated that now in its fifth year, the conflict in eastern Ukraine remains an active threat to international peace and security. 

She reiterated “the UN continues to call upon the parties to ensure the full and immediate implementation of the ceasefire agreements and exercise utmost restraint in order to protect the civilian population in the conflict-affected areas. The priority of the parties should be to, without delay, withdraw heavy weapons from populated areas, disengage forces and protect civilian infrastructure.”
