The topics: Briefing by Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, on the situation in Ukraine. Briefing the Security Council today (17 Feb) via videoconference from Munich, Germany, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo, warned that the current situation in the region is “extremely dangerous,” and stressed that reports of fresh ceasefire violations across the contact line over the past several hours, if verified, “must not be allowed to escalate further.” DiCarlo said, “tensions in and around Ukraine are running higher than at any point since 2014” and “speculation and accusations around a potential military conflict are rife.” She said, “the issues underpinning the current crisis are complex and longstanding” and “tie together the eight-year conflict in eastern Ukraine with the larger issues relating to the European security architecture.” DiCarlo is in Munich accompanying Secretary-General António Guterres who is attending the Munich Security Conference.
