Miroslav Jenca, deputy general secretary for Europe, Central Asia and the UN Americas, has positively valued diplomatic efforts to end the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, such as the Alaska Summit, although it has expressed its discontent due to the recent intensification of attacks in Ukrainian territory, which resulted in the death of at least 23 people due to Russian bombings in kyiv This Thursday.
‘The growing number of deaths and the devastation caused by the intensification of the fighting during the summer contradict the important efforts of recent months to give a chance to diplomacy,’ said the high UN representative.
Jenc has recognized the diplomatic efforts ‘led by the president of the United States’ to reach a peace agreement, mentioning the meetings in Alaska between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, as well as meetings in Washington with Trump, Zelenski and European leaders, although without great progress reported.
In addition, Jenca lamented ‘the brutal escalation of air attacks’ in Ukraine, noting that recent bombings in their capital ‘are only the last’. Last month, a ‘new and tragic record of monthly victims’ was recorded with 286 dead and 1,388 injured, the highest figure since May 2022.
On the other hand, the UN representative warned about the increase in the impact of the conflict on the Russian civil population, including victims and attacks against critical structures such as the Kursk nuclear power plant.
‘We are also concerned about the impact that the growing and growing struggle will have on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine, while we enter the fourth winter of a large -scale war, “Jenca said regarding the imminent arrival of the cold.
The UN is organizing specific support to attend approximately 1.7 million people and has made a ‘urgently’ call for more financing of donors to meet all needs.
‘We urge all those involved to urgently reduce the climbing of the situation and redouble efforts to create conditions that allow inclusive diplomatic action aimed at the cessation of hostilities and a fair peace,’ concluded Jenca.
