Ambassador Robert Wood’s Remarks on Threats to International Peace and Security in 2024!

Delivered at the UN Security Council Briefing
New York, June 14, 2024

Introduction

Greetings and Thanks

Ambassador Robert Wood began his address by thanking the President of the UN Security Council and High Representative Nakamitsu for their briefing on the current situation.

Main Concerns Addressed

Russia’s Meeting Call

Ambassador Wood highlighted that Russia called for this meeting just before a global Summit on Peace in Switzerland. He suggested that this move was to divert attention from Russia’s actions in Ukraine and shift blame away from itself. He emphasized that Russia’s intentions were transparent and not fooling anyone.

False Claims by Russia

According to Ambassador Wood, Russia continues to falsely claim that Ukraine’s defensive actions, not Russia’s continuous attacks, are prolonging the conflict. He pointed out the absurdity of Russia’s argument and stressed that the true cause of the ongoing war is Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, a sovereign UN member state.

Global Opposition to Russia’s Actions

Ambassador Wood noted the international stance against Russia:

• Over 140 countries have condemned Russia’s invasion and called for its withdrawal from Ukraine.

• Munitions: Over 11,000 containers were sent to prolong the conflict in Ukraine.
