Another productive week at the #UNGA #FirstCommittee wraps up🤝
#KingdomNL’s priorities: AI in the Military Domain, the establishment of the Global Mechanism as the permanent future cyber platform and UN80 efficiency efforts.

Accusations have been loud at the UN’s #FirstCommittee discussion on #SpaceSecurity but the quiet story is convergence and cautious progress.
Voting is today. Catch up with the discussion here: https://t.co/BBJW75hOU1

🎙 Statement by the Deputy Head of the Russian Delegation, Deputy Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Konstantin Vorontsov at the Thematic Debate on Cluster VI "Regional Disarmament and Security" in the First Committee of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly (New York, October 28, 2025)
💬 Regional security in various parts of the world is facing most serious challenges. Tensions are increasing, hostile rhetoric is growing, current long-standing regional conflicts renew more intensively, new hotbeds of tension are emerging. The "collective West" is progressively implementing a policy of forceful dominance in the world. Military alliances are expanding and their activities are becoming increasingly aggressive. The fundamental principle of indivisible security is being blatantly violated.
Extremely alarming global trends in the field of military security continue to gain momentum in Europe as well. NATO countries have begun to implement a course of open confrontation with Russia. As a result, we are witnessing the erosion of the foundations of European security and the collapse of the comprehensive system of arms control and confidence-building measures that took years to develop. <...>
Russia has always believed the system of international agreements in arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation to be the cornerstone of international security. However, as a result of the policy of Western countries, this system has deteriorated considerably in recent years.
For several decades, the US and its NATO allies have taken steps to dismantle key arms control and confidence-building agreements. Thus, in 2002 Washington unilaterally terminated the Soviet-US Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019, and from the Open Skies Treaty in 2020, which forced us to cease participation in this document. In response to the decision of Sweden and Finland to join NATO, which finally and irrevocably destroyed the CFE Treaty system of restrictions, we decided to withdraw from this Treaty in 2023.
❗️ It is possible to return the situation under control and normalize it only on the basis of compliance with the generally recognized norms of international law, the UN principles, its Charter, the goals and objectives of the Organization.
❌ Attempts to resume any dialogue are doomed to failure until NATO truly abandons its policy of disregard for Russia's security interests.
Given the current lack of trust and open hostility it is unfounded and naive to expect progress from us in matters of conventional arms control in Europe. Shaping such a regime in the future, if and when it becomes possible, will definitely require fundamentally new approaches and imperative consideration of Russia's national interests.
