Melnyk urges UN Security Council to impose severe sanctions on Russia
Ukraine’s UN Ambassador Andriy Melnyk urged the United Nations Security Council on Monday to take stronger measures against Russia. Saying that condemnations were not enough, Melnyk called for the toughest and most comprehensive sanctions against Moscow.
Ukraine’s UN Ambassador Andriy Melnyk called on the United Nations Security Council to take decisive action to hold Russia accountable and prevent attacks against Ukraine.
Addressing the Council on Monday, Melnyk said Ukrainians were celebrating Independence Day with “mixed feelings.” He said Russia’s war had entered what he described as its “most barbaric phase,” and claimed that Ukraine was being targeted with ballistic missiles and drones.
Melnyk calls for comprehensive sanctions
Melnyk argued that the international community’s response to Russia had been limited to condemnations and meetings. Saying that effective measures had not been taken to hold Moscow accountable, Melnyk said some Council members had avoided directly naming Russia in their statements on the war.
Melnyk said the Security Council had so far failed to take effective action to hold Russia accountable and stop the attacks against Ukraine. He said only decisive action could halt Russia’s ability to wage war, and called for “the toughest and most comprehensive sanctions” against Russia.
Reaction to Nebenzya’s remarks
Melnyk also criticized remarks by Russia’s UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya concerning Ukraine’s attacks on targets in Russian territory. He said he did not find Nebenzya’s accusations that civilians in Russia had been harmed sincere.
