Spain condemns in the strongest terms the latest Russian bombardment of Ukraine aimed at civilian targets and critical civilian infrastructure, including electric power stations, leaving millions of people without access to heating, water and electricity in the middle of winter.
These attacks, deliberately aimed at civilian targets, which flagrantly violate the rules of international law and international humanitarian law, can only be classified as war crimes, and could lead to a new humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
Spain conveys its deepest condolences to the families and friends of the casualties of these bombings, reiterates its firm support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally-recognised borders and once again calls on Russia to cease its armed aggression and proceed to the immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of its troops from all Ukrainian territory.
