At a UN Security Council meeting devoted to the situation in Ukraine, Britain's Permanent Representative to the UN Sarah Macintosh made a statement emphasizing the contradiction between Russia's words and actions. According to her, despite regular Russian statements about an alleged desire for peaceful resolution of the conflict, Moscow's actual actions demonstrate the opposite. Macintosh pointed out that the intensity of attacks on Ukrainian territories is not decreasing, but rather increasing, which casts doubt on the sincerity of Russia's diplomatic statements. Britain once again confirmed its position supporting Ukraine and called on the international community to continue applying pressure on Russia with the aim of ending hostilities. The statement was made as part of regular discussion of the situation in Ukraine at the UN Security Council, where permanent member states exchange assessments of the conflict's course and prospects for its resolution. The British side traditionally takes a firm position regarding Russia's actions, insisting on the necessity of complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory as a condition for beginning full-scale peace negotiations. This statement fits within the broader context of diplomatic efforts by Western countries aimed at maintaining international pressure on Russia and demonstrating support for Ukraine amid ongoing hostilities.
