Sir Keir Starmer has attacked Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, accusing the country of “treating [its] own citizens as bits of meat to fling into the grinder”. <\/p>\n

Speaking at the United Nations Security Council<\/a><\/strong> in New York – and sat opposite a Russian representative – the British prime minister accused the state of committing “the greatest violation of the [UN] charter in a generation”.<\/p>\n

Sir Keir said: “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine<\/a><\/strong> is illegal. It threatens global security. And it has caused colossal human suffering.<\/p>\n

“Over 35,000 civilians have been killed or injured, six million forced to flee and almost 20,000 Ukrainian children forcefully deported – kidnapped, to put it bluntly.<\/p>\n

“Six hundred thousand Russian soldiers have also been killed or wounded in this war. And for what?”<\/p>\n

The prime minister questioned how Russia could “show its face in this building”, adding: “The UN Charter<\/a><\/strong>, which they sit here to uphold, speaks of human dignity – not treating your own citizens as bits of meat to fling into the grinder.”<\/p>\n

He called for “accountability”, telling the council: “There must be accountability. Aggression cannot pay. Borders cannot be redrawn by force.<\/p>\n

“Russia started this illegal war. It must end it – and get out of Ukraine.”<\/p>\n

Sir Keir also reiterated his calls for ceasefires in the conflicts between Israel, Lebanon and Gaza<\/a><\/strong>, and in Sudan, saying there needed to be “political solutions that can break repeating cycles of violence”.<\/p>\n

“In this moment of deepening conflict, the world looks to this council more than ever, to provide leadership for peace, preserve our collective security and protect the most vulnerable,” he added.<\/p>\n

“The United Kingdom will always play its full part in fulfilling that responsibility.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
