UK calls for continued support for Ukraine at UN Security Council
The UK has called for continued support for Ukraine at the UN Security Council, saying that the country’s courage and bravery must not be in vain.
Speaking at the Security Council on 16 January 2025, UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a “flagrant violation of international law” and that the UK would continue to support Ukraine “in its fight for freedom and democracy”.
Cleverly said that the UK was providing Ukraine with military, humanitarian and economic support, and that the UK would continue to work with its allies to hold Russia accountable for its actions.
He also said that the UK would continue to push for a diplomatic solution to the conflict, but that this could only happen if Russia withdrew its troops from Ukraine and respected its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The UK’s statement was echoed by other members of the Security Council, including the United States, France and Germany.
The Security Council meeting was held to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine, including the ongoing fighting in the east of the country and the humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict.
The meeting came a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would suspend its participation in the New START nuclear arms treaty.
The New START treaty is the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the US and Russia. Its suspension raises concerns about the future of nuclear arms control and the risk of a new nuclear arms race.
The UK has condemned Russia’s decision to suspend its participation in the New START treaty, saying that it is a “step backwards” for arms control and that it will make the world a more dangerous place.
The UK has also called on Russia to reconsider its decision and to return to compliance with the treaty.
