Topic: 2025 – Situation in Ukraine
Country: Greece
Delegate Name: Luke Roberts
The origin of the conflict in Ukraine is difficult to diagnose. This expansive conflict was unfortunately caused by false accusations and lies. Because of this lack of truth, addressing the causes of this issue should either be done with a grain of salt or not at all. Managing the situation in Ukraine is difficult because there is no guarantee that action will be taken. As previously demonstrated, policies taken into action by this council have proved ineffective, specifically due to their broadness, causing a lack of action. This requires a change in approach to this conflict in an effort to actually resolve this issue. The previous resolution regarding this conflict, resolution S/RES/2774, was inadequate at addressing the conflict, and a succinct end to this war requires a much more comprehensive resolution. De-escalation is required to end this conflict and limit civilian casualties. Civilian lives should be the primary priority of this council and resolution, and Greece believes that UN-monitored removal of arms from the conflict zone is the best way to ensure that civilian lives are protected, alongside action by UN peacekeepers to provide aid. Civilians and threats to civilians must be the primary aspect of any resolution on this topic: the removal of arms from conflict zones also spurs a potential end to this deadly conflict through de-escalation. This conflict does not need to continue, and the lack of progress on either side should be a sign that these years of conflict need to end.
