On the 1,000th day since it began, Spain reiterates its condemnation of Russia's illegal and unjustified aggression against Ukraine, in flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, and expresses its unconditional support for the Ukrainian Government and people in their efforts to confront this aggression.
During these 1,000 days, Russia has also continuously and systematically violated the most basic rules of international humanitarian law, with indiscriminate shelling of the population and critical civilian infrastructure, also endangering the ecological and nuclear security of the European continent. This war is also having global consequences, in particular on world food security, with repeated attacks on ports and ships loaded with grain in the Black Sea. These crimes cannot go unpunished and those responsible must be brought to justice.
Since the beginning of the aggression, Spain has provided support to Ukraine in all areas: diplomatic, military (for the exercise of its right to self-defence), humanitarian and economic, and for reconstruction. It will continue to do so for as long as necessary, jointly and in coordination with the other countries of the European Union and the rest of its partners and allies.
Spain supports efforts to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting peace based on international law and the United Nations Charter, including the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders, and once again calls on the Russian Federation to cease its aggression and to proceed to the immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of its troops from all Ukrainian territory.
