Policy and rights Crisis in Ukraine the United Nations Trying to Deliver Aid

We strongly condemn President Putin’s unjustifiable and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and stand unwavering in our support of Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty and territorial integrity. We are determined to defend our shared values and the rules-based international system. We are committed to the advancement of human rights, gender equality and inclusion, and the protection of fundamental freedoms. We call on Russia to stop its attacks on Ukraine immediately and unconditionally withdraw its forces and all military equipment from Ukraine, and call on Belarus to stop facilitating and supporting Russia’s invasion.Secretary-General António Guterres said that first and foremost, Ukraine needed support, towards ending the war, and to help the millions who have fled, return home.“Many developing countries were already struggling to recover from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic: record inflation; rising interest rates; unmanageable debt burdens”, he said, adding that now, “they face skyrocketing food, energy and fertilizer bills.”With donor fatigue setting in across the developed world, countries must come together, rich and poor, to find global solutions, “because this is a global crisis.  “No country will be able to insulate itself from a meltdown of the global economic system; from the domino effect of hoarding food or fuel; or from the long-term impact of increased poverty and hunger”, he said.Resources are plentiful, but deep inequalities, distribution and logistics logjams, mean supply chains have been disrupted, and better coordinated action, is essential, Mr. Guterres added.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.
