FM Sybiha outlines Ukrainian delegation’s key priorities at UNGA
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, who is working as part of Ukrainian delegation at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, has outlined the key elements of Ukraine’s efforts to advance its agenda at UN platforms, strengthen international support for Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia.
Foreign Minister Sybiha outlined the key priorities of Ukraine's delegation at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), according to Ukrinform. President Zelenskyy will deliver a crucial address, and the agenda encompasses a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, the sixth Crimea Platform Summit, discussions on energy before winter, the Black Sea, and grain exports. First Lady Olena Zelenska will spearhead a separate humanitarian program.
Sybiha emphasized that the Ukrainian delegation would also address Russian crimes in occupied territories, specifically highlighting the "ongoing humanitarian catastrophe Russia is creating in the occupied Oleshky community." Another pressing issue is the "deportation and militarization of Ukrainian children." "We must ensure the world does not grow accustomed to this war.
Russian crimes must not go unpunished," Sybiha stressed, adding that "pressure on Russia must intensify, and support for our defense forces must grow stronger – to bring peace closer."
Following another Russian assault on Ukraine, President Zelenskyy announced that he would discuss at the UNGA the potential joint efforts to achieve peace. According to Zelenskyy, this represents the primary responsibility that all leaders should tackle.
