谢谢您，主席先生。感谢通报情况的人士今天的发言。
就在三周以前，俄罗斯发动了对乌克兰的无端、无理、违背良知的全面入侵以及对民主制度的攻击。目前，超过 300 万难民已逃离该国，在世界范围内造成了一场深重的人道主义危机。这些难民大多是妇女和儿童。他们的生活被迫中断，他们打起背包，离开了自己的家园和他们所熟悉的一切。今天，他们中的许多人都已得知他们的公寓楼和街道已被炸成瓦砾。而那些留在乌克兰的人们仍旧生活在恐怖之中。
我们刚刚听到世卫组织总干事 (WHO DG) 的介绍，俄罗斯袭击了 43 家医院——43 家医院和医卫设施。美联社 (AP) 在当地的记者让全世界看到了马里乌波尔市 (Mariupol) 的一个万人坑——一条狭窄的沟渠，里面填满了儿童的尸体。昨天，俄罗斯军队投下一枚威力巨大的炸弹，击中了数百名平民躲藏其内的马里乌波尔剧院。在剧院的外面、正面和背面都用俄文字母写着“儿童”一词，大大的白色字母从天空也可以看到。然而，俄罗斯军队还是轰炸了这个剧院。当地官员告诉死者的家属们，就让他们死去的亲人躺在外面的街道上——暴尸街头——因为在炸弹和炮击中安葬他们实在太危险了。
我刚刚会见了一些乌克兰公民社会的领导人。他们说，一些排队买面包以养家糊口的人被俄罗斯士兵枪杀。他们讲到了恐怖——俄罗斯在整个乌克兰给乌克兰人民造成的恐怖。
俄罗斯将对其暴行负责。只有一种方式——一种方式——来结束这一疯狂行径。
普京总统 (President Putin)：停止杀戮。撤回你的军队。永远彻底地离开乌克兰。
昨天，我聆听了泽连斯基总统 (President Zelensky) 在美国国会发表的演讲。我被他的言辞、他的勇敢以及他对援助与和平的呼吁所感动。紧接着，拜登总统 (President Biden) 宣布再提供 8 亿美元的安全援助，以帮助乌克兰进行自卫。仅在过去一周总计就超过了 10 亿美元。我们并非是唯一提供支持的国家。我们的盟友和合作伙伴完全致力于大量增加对乌克兰人民的援助。我们对所有开放边界和敞开心扉欢迎乌克兰难民的盟友和合作伙伴表示衷心感谢。
我们也将继续提供人道主义救援，以支持乌克兰境内的人们和那些被迫逃离的人们——包括国务卿布林肯 (Secretary Blinken) 周二宣布的1.86 亿美元的额外援助。在联合国，我们认为解决人道主义危机的最佳方式是通过一项联合国大会决议。联大决议将体现出绝大多数联合国会员国和乌克兰本国的看法。  
国际法院 (International Court of Justice) 昨天向俄罗斯联邦发布了一项深刻而重要的命令，我们呼吁俄罗斯立即遵从这一命令。俄罗斯侵犯乌克兰主权和领土完整，显然违反了国际法。俄罗斯的残暴行径杀害了平民、医护人员和一些让我们所有人都能看到这场战争的真相的新闻记者。俄罗斯攻击了许多我们视为神圣的东西以及联合国所代表的一切。俄罗斯的行为必须受到毫不含糊的谴责。
正如拜登总统所说，普京永远不会在乌克兰取得胜利。无论他如何进攻，无论他杀害多少人、摧毁多少座城市，他永远也不会在乌克兰取得胜利。美国与乌克兰和乌克兰人民站在一起，我们将竭尽全力——竭尽全力——结束这场不必要的战争悲剧。
谢谢各位。

Remarks by Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield at a UN Security Council Meeting on the Humanitarian Crisis Caused by Russia’s War Against Ukraine

Ambassador Linda Thomas-GreenfieldU.S. Representative to the United NationsNew York, New YorkMarch 17, 2022
AS DELIVERED
Thank you, Mr. President. And thank you to the briefers for your briefing today.
Just three weeks ago, Russia launched its unprovoked, unjustified, unconscionable full-scale invasion into Ukraine and assault on democracy. Now, over three million refugees have fled the country, creating a devastating humanitarian crisis felt around the world. These refugees are mostly women and children. They stuffed their lives into backpacks and left their homes and everything they knew behind. Today, many of them know that their apartment buildings and streets have been bombed to rubble. And the horrors continue for those who remain in Ukraine.
We just heard from the WHO DG that 43 hospitals have been attacked by Russia – 43 hospitals and health facilities. AP reporters on the ground showed the world a mass grave in Mariupol – a narrow trench filled with the bodies of children. Yesterday, Russian forces dropped a powerful bomb that hit a Mariupol theater where hundreds of civilians were hiding. The Russian word for “children” was written outside the theater, both front and back, in large white letters that could have been seen from the sky. Yet Russian forces bombed it anyway. Local officials have told families to leave their dead relatives lying outside on the streets – exposed to the world – because it is simply too dangerous with the bombs and shellings to hold funerals.
I just met with Ukrainian civil society leaders. They reported that people standing in a bread line, trying to get food to feed their families, were shot dead by Russian soldiers. They reported terror – the terror that Russia is inflicting across Ukraine on the Ukrainian people.
Russia will be held accountable for its atrocities. There is only one way – one way – to end this madness.
President Putin: Stop the killing. Withdraw your forces. Leave Ukraine once and for all.
Yesterday, I listened to President Zelenskyy’s speech to the United States Congress. And I was so moved by his words, his bravery, and his calls for help and for peace. Immediately afterward, President Biden announced another $800 million in security assistance to help Ukraine defend itself. That’s more than $1 billion in the past week alone. We’re not doing this by ourselves. Our allies and partners are fully committed to surging assistance to the Ukrainians. And we are grateful to all of our allies and partners who have opened their borders and their hearts and welcomed Ukrainian refugees.
We are also going to continue to provide humanitarian relief to support people within Ukraine and those who have been forced to flee – including the $186 million in additional assistance that Secretary Blinken announced on Tuesday. Here at the United Nations, we believe the best way to address the humanitarian crisis is through a resolution in the UN General Assembly. The resolution in the General Assembly will reflect the views of the overwhelming majority of UN Member States and Ukraine itself.
The International Court of Justice issued a profound and important order yesterday to the Russian Federation, and we call on Russia to comply immediately. Russia has clearly violated international law by violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Russia’s brutal tactics have killed civilians, medics, and some of the journalists who have been showing us all the truth of this war. Russia has attacked so much of what we hold sacred and everything – everything – the United Nations stands for. Russia’s actions must be condemned in no uncertain terms.
As President Biden said, Ukraine will never be a victory for Putin. No matter what advances he makes, no matter whom he kills or what cities he destroys, Ukraine will never be a victory for him. The United States stands with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, and we will do everything – everything – in our power to end this tragic unnecessary war.
Thank you.
