At the UN Security Council meeting, Tom Fletcher began his speech by condemning the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which is causing suffering to the Ukrainian civilian population. He said that this year he visited Ukrainians in Donetsk and Pokrovsk and appreciated their resilience, determination and desire to rebuild their lives and their homes.
