Ukrainian delegation at UNGA faces task of strengthening intl coalition in support of Ukraine – Shmyhal

KYIV. Sept 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that the Ukrainian delegation at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) faces the task of strengthening the international coalition in support of Ukraine and intensifying relations with the countries of the Global South.

“As Shmyhal reported, the Ukrainian delegation at the UNGA has a mission to strengthen the international coalition in support of Ukraine (in particular, to increase the supply of weapons and financial aid), intensify relations with the countries of the Global South (Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia) and bring russia to responsibility for the crimes in Ukraine,” the government’s press service said in a statement with reference to Shmyhal, who took part in the opening of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly.

It is noted that the Ukrainian delegation on the sidelines of the General Assembly is also working to create prerequisites for launching a mechanism for compensating Russia for the damage inflicted on Ukraine, bringing Russia’s top leadership to personal responsibility for crimes against Ukrainians in Bucha, Izium and other Ukrainian cities.

"Global hunger, nuclear terrorism, unprecedented violence – these are the associations that Russia evokes among world leaders today. All their speeches begin with the situation in Ukraine and the global consequences that the war has already caused and that it will entail in the future. Such a significant interest of world leaders demonstrates their excitement and desire to unite in the face of these terrible threats from the aggressor," the prime minister said.
