Topic: Situation in Ukraine
The attacks by Russia against Ukraine are unfounded and cruel. Russia’s war on Ukraine has killed over fifty-three thousand innocent civilians and left hundreds of thousands displaced or needing aid. Ukraine has valiantly fought off the Russians but still struggles to maintain its country and its sovereignty. For years, the Russo-Ukraine war has dragged on with no foreseeable end in sight. While the Ukrainians are stuck on the front line trying to defend their country, their home is being destroyed around them as a global superpower robs them of their resources. The war started with Russia invading Ukraine, and therefore, Denmark believes the war is their fault and that the right thing to do is to support Ukraine and protect its rights as a country.
Ukraine is being bullied by Russia and deserves the aid of the world. Denmark believes that Ukraine requires additional assistance in countering the Russian threat. The acts done by Russia are unexcusable, and Russia should be condemned for its actions. The amount of weapons and aid flowing into Ukraine is necessary to keep Ukraine a sovereign country instead of one owned by the Russians. Denmark insists that countries continue to send aid, whether military or economic, to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom from oppression. Denmark hopes that other countries will agree to support Ukraine, as we wish to provide Ukraine with an advantage so that it may be able to repel Russia from Ukraine.
The UNSC has struggled so far to take decisive action against either party. Since Russia has voting rights and, more importantly, veto rights, getting any bill passed to aid Ukraine is near impossible. The SC can do little more than debate how to help with no real action. The SC has warned of the humanitarian crisis due to the war and attempted to aid people hurt by the war. However, the main discipline against Russia has come from individual countries in terms of sanctions. These economic sanctions hurt the Russian economy and are used to try and prevent Russia from continuing this war so that trade can resume.
Denmark believes Russia is the cause of the War. Their intent to drag out this war is an affront to peace and international law. Russia has no real claim to Ukraine and is senselessly attacking it and its citizens. The root cause it’s Russia is greedy for resources and therefore Ukrainian land and is using false claims to justify the appalling war in Ukraine. The UNSC must see how Ukraine is not at fault in this conflict and must be aided to repel this tyrannical grab at Ukraine. However, with Russia on the SC, little action can really come from it. Russia maintains the ability to veto motions, leaving countries like Denmark sympathetic to Ukraine unable to help them in this council.
In conclusion, Denmark wishes to help free Ukraine from Russia and its cruel war. Denmark wishes to grant any aid, whether economic or military, to the Ukrainians. Denmark hopes that the SC can aid the Ukrainians, but understands that with Russia present within the SC that little action is achievable. Denmark still hopes that the SC will understand the plight of the Ukrainians and that Russia will pull their troops out of Ukraine and end the pointless suffering caused by these senseless actions.
