[00:00:00]I thank the representative of Panama for this meeting.

[00:00:06]>> The latest mass strikes against Kyiv by Russia over the weekend, including the deployment of the Orishnik hypersonic ballistic missiles, are an inexplicable, dangerous, and barbaric escalation.

[00:00:22]They are another example of why the Russia-Ukraine war must end immediately and permanently.

[00:00:29]Once again, as you've heard from your colleagues, civilians were killed and more than 100 injured.

[00:00:37]Museums, public transportation infrastructure, residential buildings, and more were destroyed or damaged.

[00:00:45]Deliberate attacks against civilians are obscene and unacceptable.

[00:00:51]The United States extends its deepest sympathies to all those affected.

[00:01:12]We note too, with serious concern, Russia's apparent disregard for the protections afforded to diplomatic facilities and personnel under under international law.

[00:01:26]We remind Russia in clear terms of its legal obligations, and we add, diplomacy and negotiation are the only path forward towards lasting peace.

[00:01:41]Threats and incendiary rhetoric are clearly not part of that path.

[00:01:48]Colleagues, the Russia-Ukraine war can only end with a negotiated settlement.

[00:01:53]The United States once again calls for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire as a step towards a durable, negotiated end to the war.

[00:02:03]>> Mr. President.

[00:02:06]We thank the countries that have con- >> You bomb me, too.

[00:03:09]And you bomb me, my buddy, too.

[00:03:11]Is not a normal person, yeah? The bullet yarn.
