Terrorists must lose and be responsible for terror, and not chair the UN Security Council - address of President Volodymyr Zelenskyi 1.04.2023

Dear Ukrainians, I wish you health!

I signed two decrees on sanctions against those who work for Russian aggression.

These are officials of the aggressor state, its defense industry – hundreds of companies – and collaborators. It is about more than 650 newly sanctioned persons.

By the way, this week Switzerland joined the tenth sanctions package of the European Union.

It is important when the states that are neutral in the military-political sense nevertheless take a clear moral position towards Russian terror, towards Russia's destruction of the global order based on rules.

I spoke today with President of France Emmanuel Macron. In detail, one hour. About the situation at the front, our political interaction, about how we are moving in implementing the Ukrainian Peace Formula. Thank you, France for your unwavering support.

Within the framework of the OSCE, work on the first separate international report, which will be dedicated to Russia's forced deportation of Ukrainian children and attempts to assimilate our children, began.

This crime committed by Russia is one of the most cynical and anti-human crimes of our time.

Russia commits it systematically and calculates it, at the state level. Accountability for it will be systemic too. Accountability of Russia as a state and everyone involved.

Unfortunately, we also have news that is obviously absurd and destructive. Today, the terrorist state began to chair the UN Security Council.

It is hard to imagine something evident that proves the complete bankruptcy of such institutions...

There is no such form of terror that has not yet been committed by Russia. And there will be no such reason that will stop the reform of global institutions, in particular, the UN Security Council. The reform that is clearly overdue – so that a terrorist state and any other state that wants to be a terrorist cannot disrupt the peace.

Terrorists must lose, must be held accountable for terror, and not preside anywhere.
