Speech by Ambassador Yuri Kim
Thank you, Foreign Minister, for inviting all of us to this important discussion. As I look around the table, I am trying to discern what makes us all together. Many of us are members of NATO. Many of us are members of the EU. Some of us aspire to become part of the EU. But we all certainly acknowledge that we are in a historic moment. That the threat, invasion and occupation of Ukraine by Russia poses a threat to all of us and to the international system that we and our ancestors worked for decades to build from the ruins of World War I and World War II. It is also very clear that in our capitals we are responding to this moment. We are rising to the heights of the moment in ways we did not expect. And I think we are all surprised with ourselves – for the speed, the determination, the perseverance, the seriousness and the sacrifice; this does not come without sacrifices – with the way we are responding, defending Ukraine, but also defending our way of life. I express the appreciation of the USA for the role of Albania in the Security Council as our co-supporter for the issue of Ukraine, I express the appreciation for all of you, for your cooperation and contribution. And again we understand that your cooperation and contribution, including humanitarian aid or defense assistance or sanctions are not without cost. But I believe we all agree that it is worth it.
Finally, we certainly underline our full solidarity with Ukraine and the people of Ukraine in these moments of this historic challenge. We are with you. We will continue to be with you.
