#Chumakov: Russia🇷🇺 actively participates in global humanitarian response system, i.a. through the #UN, by making contributions to the budgets of🇺🇳humanitarian agencies (ca.💲90 mln yearly), dispatching humanitarian aid & sending emergency response groups to the areas in need. https://t.co/fZJppJAtWb

#Chumakov: We note the potential of regional & sub-regional organizations in supporting national #peacebuilding efforts. We welcome the activity of #AU that jointly with the UN, sub-regional assosiations, NEPAD,& African Development Bank, helps countries recover after conflicts. https://t.co/l1pkXjRRWA

#Chumakov: Global🌍spread of #COVID19 aggravates humanitarian and economic problems. Worsening of socio-economic situation, in its turn, impedes the resolving of tasks related to sustainable development and #peacebuilding, especially in most vulnerable states. https://t.co/FaGAq1kaFH

The 5th commemorative ceremony paying tribute to the vistims of 12.25.2016 plane crash was traditionally organized by 🇺🇸NGO @SchillerInst and the Fire Department of the city of Bayonne (NJ). Deputy Permanent Representative of 🇷🇺to🇺🇳 D.#Chumakov took part on behalf of @RussiaUN. https://t.co/9PSTVuVArK

#Chumakov at the commemoration of the victims of 12.25.16 plane crash: This tragedy resonates in the hearts and minds of people throughout the globe. Our symbolic ceremony that is held on the American soil is another proof of that. https://t.co/xLnXFGIWG5 https://t.co/Shm7igaVQP

#Chumakov: We recently launched the second program for full financing of participation of 🇷🇺volunteers in the work of 🇺🇳bodies. Within the program, Russian #volunteers yearly receive assignments in country offices of the UN funds & agencies, offices of UN Resident Coordinators. https://t.co/WZ8y73UG3q

#Chumakov: The new Strategic Plan reaffirmed #poverty eradication as #UNDP's key area. There must be a multifaceted approach to solving this problem, i.a. inviting national actors at all levels to elaborate development strategies, unique for every state. 🔗https://t.co/nlMDxjmTqR https://t.co/NFK6afjJoY

#Chumakov: #UNICEF was there helping children in the aftermath of #WW2 and it is still there for children in humanitarian situations. Russia🇷🇺 appreciates UNICEF’s dual #humanitarian & #development mandate; we have quality cooperation in both these areas. https://t.co/9mocDF4ezh https://t.co/UcjVi8wMc2

#Chumakov: Priority areas of #UNICEF should always be #children’s survival and wellbeing and support to their families. Such topics as climate, peacebuilding, promotion of gender equality are undoubtedly important. At the same time, they're priorities of other UN🇺🇳organizations. https://t.co/hRtixOoyZb

#Chumakov: We'd be interested to receive more information in #UNICEF reports on how it supports families, incl. single-parent families, families having many children or children w/special needs; whether UNICEF provides assistance to👧👦who lost parents and who live in orphanages. https://t.co/rhDLHKBcgY

#Chumakov: We commend #UNICEF’s success, incl. its growing number of partnerships, support to countries in fighting #COVID19, assistance to teachers & safe return of👦👧to schools. We agree that we should collectively increase primary #healthcare & social protection for children. https://t.co/375RPNaAFT

#Chumakov at discussions of cluster 2 of "Our Common Agenda" report: Strengthening of🌍cooperation in countering illicit #financial flows must stand at the core of our efforts.🇷🇺delegation supports the proposal to elaborate an intn'l tool to back 🇺🇳Convention against #corruption. https://t.co/p0xGTSGaiy

#Chumakov: We welcome UN🇺🇳 efforts to boost countries' engagement in global🌐 #trade, promote unimpeded functioning of distribution chains and render the required technical support to that end, as well as counter politicization of this area. https://t.co/FpqLfXJgIx

#Chumakov: We believe all budget- and #personnel-related issues should be discussed at the #FifthCommittee of #UNGA, which apart from the recent novelties should also provide 🇺🇳Secretary-General's comprehensive analysis regarding the pros and cons of a one-year #budget cycle. https://t.co/lv0UkUo1Gm

#Chumakov on "Our Common Agenda" report: 🇷🇺supports the idea of strengthening the #WHO and its coordinating role in #healthcare. But WHO is a separate 🇺🇳agency w/ its own governing bodies. It regulates this process by itself. A targeted discussion at UNGA'd be counter-productive. https://t.co/K9A4vpsmC0

#Chumakov: #OurCommonAgenda report loosely interprets the #ParisAgreement on #climate, promoting ambitios & hardly attainable goals, especially with regard to carbon neutrality & rejection of coal energy. It ignores the gap between states in their levels of economic development. https://t.co/4FZbLxzcg3

#Chumakov: Donor financing of security projects that are said to have some connection to #climate must not be regarded as part of climate financing. Otherwise developing countries may fall short of promised resources, even if the record says that #donor obligations've been upheld https://t.co/8WUgwIhv4l

#Chumakov: We warn against attempts to assert an inherent🍃climate-security nexus. We don't want to divert SC attention from considering real root causes of conflicts in countries on its agenda. Nor do we want to turn #climate agenda in a political issue. https://t.co/ffZ9dnpUNA https://t.co/HRic592UMx

#Chumakov: #ClimateChange triggers frequent & intense extreme natural phenomena in various spots of 🌍: ever more devastating forest fires🔥, tropic cyclones🌀, droughts, floods, increase of sea level🌊. This asks for urgent efforts to ensure adaptation, mitigate losses & damage. https://t.co/Svj0RoE3EV

#Chumakov: Recently published part 2 of the #IPCC Sixth Assessment Report assesses the impact of #climate on conflicts and statistical association of climate and conflicts as relatively weak. This once again proves that #ClimateChange is an issue of sustainable development. https://t.co/KdLwpT2kmg
