“Ukraine is a state recognized by the UN, with borders that have also been recognized by the UN. Thus, any aggression against internationally recognized states is an abhorrent fact. Every member of the UN should condemn such aggression” — Duarte Pacheco, President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union

“Ukraine is a state recognized by the UN, with borders that have also been recognized by the UN. Thus, any aggression against internationally recognized states is an abhorrent fact. Every member of the UN should condemn such aggression” — Duarte Pacheco, President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.

Duarte Pacheco noted that Ukraine is fighting against a great power. It is not an easy task, but democracy, freedom and human rights are above. All allies and Ukraine will fight to the end. Ukraine may have all the tools to gain independence, but this will only happen, if everyone helps Ukraine return to internationally recognized borders.
