“We will continue to push to make sure that Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is respected and that this war is put to an end as soon as we can,” said de Rivière, whose country holds the 15-nation Security Council’s rotating presidency through September.Ī Security Council meeting on Thursday (22 September) is expected to reflect on the new developments in the Ukraine war and the topic of discussion will be how to respond to Russia’s threats and the campaign to call up 300,000 reservists. “The UN is probably at the crossroads and Ukraine could be a game changer,” de Rivière said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, calling Russia’s war “a huge blow to multilateralism and a massive violation of the UN Charter”. Russia’s war in Ukraine could be a “game-changer” for the United Nations Security Council, the French envoy to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), Nicolas de Rivière, told EURACTIV.
