On the third anniversary of the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Spain pays tribute to the tens of thousands of victims of an aggression that is unjustifiable and contrary to the most elementary rules of international law.
Spain reiterates its strongest condemnation of this aggression and demands its immediate end and the withdrawal of Russian troops from all Ukrainian territory.
While Russia redoubles its attacks, Ukraine continues to defend its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and, with them, the principles and values that underpin the international order and security in Europe.
Spain will continue to provide all kinds of support to Ukraine in the exercise of its legitimate self-defence, in coordination with its partners and allies; it will contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine; and it will work to ensure that the crimes committed by the aggressors do not go unpunished.
Spain reiterates its commitment to a just, lasting and comprehensive peace, the fruit of negotiations in which Ukraine itself necessarily participates, and which will result in the strengthening of respect for international law.
