Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Nations delivered a blistering warning to Russia at the Security Council, saying Moscow’s hold over occupied Ukrainian territories was temporary and that Kyiv may revise its ceasefire offer if the UN continues a “wait-and-see approach.” “So, addressing the Russian representative, I can give you one piece of advice: you will never be able to hold the occupied lands. Never. So get out of Ukraine as quickly as possible, before it is too late,” Andrii Melnyk, Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, told the Council.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Melnyk’s remarks came during a Security Council meeting on Monday, requested by Kyiv after a wave of Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, civilians and cultural landmarks. He warned that Kyiv may “recalibrate and modify” its current ceasefire offer if the UN continues what he called a “wait-and-see approach.” “Ukraine stands ready to engage in direct negotiations with Russia to secure a just and lasting peace in accordance with the UN Charter, but our patience is not endless,” Melnyk told the Council. ‘Russia’s missile terror’ Melnyk noted that the Council was meeting for the sixth time in one month on Russia’s war against Ukraine, stressing that the frequency was not “Ukraine’s whim” but the result of Moscow’s escalating attacks on civilians.
