琳达·托马斯–格林菲尔德大使在联合国安理会紧急会议上就乌克兰扎波罗热核电厂情况发表讲话

谢谢你，主席女士。
承蒙上帝恩典，昨夜全世界侥幸躲过了一场核灾难。当我们实时目睹这一骇人的局势发展时，我们都屏住了呼吸。我赞赏乌克兰运营人员能够在遭受攻击的情况下保障所有六座反应堆的安全，并在能够通报时向他们的核监管人员报告情况。此外，我们感谢乌克兰 国家核管制监察局（State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine）持续向国际原子能机构（IAEA）及国际社会通报最新情况。我们对于乌克兰运营人员目前正在极端的胁迫之下从事他们的工作表示严重关切。
俄罗斯昨夜的进攻将欧洲最大的核电厂置于重大的风险之中。这是全然不计后果和极其危险的，而且威胁着俄罗斯、乌克兰和欧洲各地的民众的安全。作为第一个步骤，我们要求俄罗斯从该核电厂撤出其军队，允许受伤人员接受治疗，确保运营人员全面进入整个场址并能同核监管人员沟通，还要允许运营人员换班工作，以确保该核电厂继续安全运转。乌克兰消防员及核工程师必须能够全面进入这个核设施，以评估受损情况，特别是进水管道的受损情况，并在必要时减轻情况进一步恶化。
核设施不应当成为这场冲突的一部分。可靠的供电，以及备用柴油发电机和燃料，对于核设施至关重要。必须保障安全的传输走廊。俄罗斯必须停止任何进一步使用武力的行径，不得将乌克兰各地全部15座可运营的反应堆置于更大的风险之中，也不得干扰乌克兰保障其37座核设施及周边人口的安全和安保的能力。
美国继续高度关切控制切尔诺贝利设施的俄罗斯军队自上周以来一直不允许那里的运营人员换班的情况。这是极其不负责任的行为，并对两处设施持续的安全运营造成严重关切。我们敦促所有国家都支持国际原子能机构总干事格罗西（IAEA Director-General Grossi）为今后寻求有关安排的努力，以确保核安全，并避免在乌克兰发生核灾难。
过去九天来，我们目睹了普京总统选择的战争给乌克兰人民带来的灾难。昨天，联合国报告说，俄罗斯的入侵已经导致50万儿童沦为难民。俄罗斯打死了数以千计乌克兰人——同时牺牲了数以千计俄罗斯士兵的生命。俄罗斯正在摧毁关键的基础设施，进而让人们得到不维持生命所需的饮水和在深冬不被冻僵所需要的天然气。这场破坏造成的人道影响将十分严重。世界141个国家已经响亮和明确地要求普京总统停止这一残忍的、无理由和无端的进攻。他不仅充耳不闻，而且我们刚刚目睹了一个新的危险升级，对整个欧洲和世界构成可怕的威胁。
对与我同在这里的俄罗斯代表：本理事会需要得到回答。我们需要听到你们说这将不会再次发生，就像我们的英国代表刚所陈述的。我们要求你们从乌克兰撤走你们的军队和武器。我们要求你们尊重乌克兰的边界、它的人民和《联合国宪章》。我们要求你们对你们自己的军队有足够的尊重，不将他们派去打一场非正义的战争——或进行针对核电厂的自杀使命。
我们要求俄罗斯遵守其国际法义务。世界要求俄罗斯遵守国际人道法律，即禁止有意攻击平民和平民基础设施，并允许人道主义机构有充分和安全的通道到达需要帮助的人。美国和我们的伙伴已要求在本周一就乌克兰人道局势举行通报会。我们支持让人道主义机构利用一个人道主义的暂停展开紧急工作，让人道物资得以安全通过和运送。
普京总统必须停止这场战争和对乌克兰人民丧尽天良的攻击，结束这场人道灾难。普京先生必须停止这种疯狂，他必须现在就停止。必须让更冷静的头脑占上风。俄罗斯军队现在距离乌克兰第二大核设施20英里，且在步步逼近。因此，这一迫在眉睫的危险在继续。昨晚我们侥幸避免了一场灾难。国际社会必须一致要求俄罗斯军队停止其危险的攻击行动。如我此前所说，乌克兰人民在仰仗我们，我们绝不能让他们失望。
谢谢。

Ambassador Linda Thomas-GreenfieldU.S. Representative to the United NationsNew York, New YorkMarch 4, 2022
AS DELIVERED
Thank you, Madam President.
By the grace of God, the world narrowly averted a nuclear catastrophe last night. We all waited to exhale as we watched the horrific situation unfold in real time. I applaud the ability of the Ukrainian operators to keep all six reactors in safe conditions while under attack and to report, as they were able to, to their nuclear regulator. Moreover, we appreciate the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine for its continuous updates to the IAEA and to the international community. We are gravely concerned that the Ukrainian operators are now doing their jobs under extreme duress.
Russia’s attack last night put Europe’s largest nuclear power plant at grave risk. It was incredibly reckless and dangerous. And it threatened the safety of civilians across Russia, Ukraine, and Europe. As a first step, we call on Russia to withdraw its troops from the plant to permit medical treatment for injured personnel, to ensure operators have full access to the site and are able to communicate with nuclear regulators, and to allow the operators to conduct shift changes to ensure the continued safe operation of the plant. Ukrainian firefighters and nuclear engineers must have full access to the nuclear facility to assess damage, particularly to water intake piping, and mitigate a further deterioration of the situation if needed.
Nuclear facilities cannot become part of this conflict. Reliable electricity is vital for the nuclear facility, as are back-up diesel generators and fuel. Safe transit corridors must be maintained. Russia must halt any further use of force that might put at further risk all 15 operable reactors across Ukraine – or interfere with Ukraine’s ability to maintain the safety and security of its 37 nuclear facilities and their surrounding populations.
The United States remains highly concerned that Russian military forces controlling the Chornobyl site have not permitted operators there to have a shift change since last week. This is highly irresponsible behavior and causes grave concerns for continued safe operations of both sites. And we call on all countries to support IAEA Director-General Grossi in his efforts to find arrangements going forward to ensure nuclear safety and prevent a nuclear catastrophe in Ukraine.
Over the past nine days, we have witnessed the devastating impacts of President Putin’s war of choice on the Ukrainian people. Yesterday, the UN reported that Russia’s invasion had turned half a million children into refugees. Russia has killed thousands of Ukrainians – and sacrificed thousands more Russian soldiers’ lives in the process. Russia is destroying critical infrastructure which is denying people drinking water to stay alive and gas to keep people from freezing to death in the middle of winter. The humanitarian impact of this destruction will be significant. A hundred forty-one nations across the world have called loudly and clearly on President Putin to stop this brutal, unjustified, unprovoked attack. Not only has he not listened, we’ve just witnessed a dangerous new escalation that represents a dire threat to all of Europe and the world.
To my Russian counterpart: this Council needs answers. We need to hear you say this won’t happen again, as our UK colleague just stated. We call on you to withdraw your troops and weaponry from Ukraine. We call on you to respect Ukraine’s borders, its people, and the UN Charter. We call on you to respect your own troops enough not to send them into an unjust war – or on a suicide mission against a nuclear power plant.
We call on Russia to abide by its international law obligations. The world demands that Russia abide by international humanitarian law, which prohibits intentionally targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, and allow humanitarian agencies full and secure access to people in need of aid. The United States and our partners have called for a briefing this Monday on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. We support the urgent work by humanitarian organizations on a humanitarian pause to allow for safe passage and the delivery of humanitarian supplies.
President Putin must stop this humanitarian catastrophe by ending this war and ceasing these unconscionable attacks against the people of Ukraine. Mr. Putin must stop this madness and he must stop it now. Cooler heads must prevail. Russian forces are now 20 miles, and closing, from Ukraine’s second largest nuclear facility. So, this imminent danger continues. We narrowly avoided a disaster last night. The international community must be unanimous in demanding Russia’s forces stop their dangerous assault. And as I’ve said before, the people of Ukraine are counting on us and we must not let them down.
Thank you.
