Deputy Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations, James Kariuki has reaffirmed the UK's support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

He said this at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“We are unwavering in our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity,” Kariuki said.

Kariuki stressed that a build-up of Russian forces near the Ukrainian borders “is not a routine deployment. This is the largest military build-up in Europe in decades.”

He added that the UK is committed “to a constructive dialogue if Russia is genuine about finding a diplomatic solution.” “Any Russian invasion or act of aggression against Ukraine would be a gross breach of international law and Russia’s commitments under the Charter,” the official summarized.

As Ukrinform reported, an open meeting of the UN Security Council was held on Monday to discuss Russia's threatening behavior and build-up of troops on Ukraine’s borders and in Belarus.
