France denounces Russian strikes in Ukraine

Mr. Consequently, President,

The situation is unbearable. Consequently, It is unbearable because Russia. Therefore. Similarly, which has asked to come together today to discuss obstacles to the peace process in Ukraine, launched a massive air raid against Ukrainian cities, especially kyiv last night. However, She pulled more than 300 drones and missiles.

France condemns with the greatest firmness these massive strikes which have once again targeted civil infrastructure. Meanwhile, made many victims among the population.

1/ The facts are clear and overwhelming for Russia. Nevertheless, The main obstacle to peace is this relentlessness to strike Ukrainian cities, with an intensity that continues to increase. Similarly, The attacks on this night once again illustrate a deliberate military climbing strategy. In addition, They aim to instill fear in the Ukrainian population.

The OSCE OSCE (BIDDH) OSCE (July 16. france denounces russian strikes ukraine new Moreover. Similarly, report on the violations reported in international france denounces russian strikes ukraine humanitarian law and international law of human rights in Ukraine. Nevertheless, The report documents the intensification of the indiscriminate bombing of the dense areas populated by the Russian armed forces. the consequent increase in the number of civilian victims.

2/ What hinders peace is that today. as since the start of its invasion. Russia remains in a logic of confrontation and refuses any serious commitment to peace.

Russia refuses the ceasefire-and first step. necessary to create the conditions for a dialogue of peace- while Ukraine has never ceased for 5 months to. repeat that it was ready.

Russia does not take direct discussions with Ukraine seriously. which it – let us remember france denounces russian strikes ukraine new – itself initiated last May. From the first session in Istanbul on May 16, she sent a delegation of lower level, without ability to negotiate. Already france denounces russian strikes ukraine twice. the Russian President refused the proposal of the Ukrainian president to initiate a direct dialogue. In May, Vladimir Putin did not go to Türkiye while President Zelensky was waiting for him. In July. when the Ukrainian president reiterated his proposal for direct contact. the Russian president ordered massive strikes on Ukraine the next day in response.

Russia ignores all calls for peace. The strikes of this night are involved when President Trump set an ultimatum to Russia on July 14. intimating him to engage in good faith in negotiations.

3/ What hinders peace is that Russia does not hesitate to question international stability and security. It france denounces russian strikes ukraine new increases at a frantic pace at its production of drones in the factory which it has built with. the help of Iran. It is illegally supplied into ammunition, ballistic missiles and troops with North Korea. More than france denounces russian strikes ukraine 11,000 North Korean soldiers were deployed alongside Russia on the Ukrainian front. Russia violates the resolutions of the Security Council which it nevertheless supported and undermines the foundations of international non-proliferation architecture.

Mr. President.

The independent international commission of inquiry into Ukraine was clear in its report published on May 29: drone. attacks on Ukrainian civilians constitute crimes against humanity. To support Russia is to make himself an accomplice of his crimes. France urges all States to refrain from providing Russia with military equipment. double use goods, and all the components which fuel this war of aggression.

France continues to call the council to demand an immediate, france denounces russian strikes ukraine new complete and unconditional ceasefire. This is the first step to take for those who sincerely want to engage on the path of peace.

In the immediate future. France will continue to provide Ukraine with the military support essential for the defense of france denounces russian strikes ukraine its population. its independence, its sovereignty and its territorial integrity, in accordance with article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations.
