Ukraine: Security of European Citizens Also At Stake

Ukraine sees the Russian invasion as a threat to Ukrainian citizens and all residents of Europe. The future of the world is also at stake. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaks of an attempt to destroy the country.

 

The ministry said that “only concerted and crucial actions can stop Vladimir Putin’s aggression against Ukraine”.

Ukraine says it will defend itself and that “the fighting spirit of our army is high”. Our defenders will protect Ukrainian soil with everything they have.” In the statement, the government calls for new sanctions and the supply of weapons and military equipment. Russian forces are reportedly attacking peaceful cities from different directions.

The ministry speaks of “an act of war” and an “attack on the sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine”. Furthermore, the raid is a “gross violation” of United Nations rules and international law’s “standards and principles”.

Russian ground troops have crossed the border in at least three regions. In addition, Ukraine is struggling with shelling from the Crimean peninsula and neighbouring Belarus. According to Russia, airstrikes have knocked out Ukrainian air defences and air forces. At least eight people have been killed and nine injured in Russian bombings.
