  1. “We therefore demand an immediate cessation of hostilities, for Russia to withdraw its troops to its internationally recognized borders and for respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. We want peace, both for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people and for all of us who defend the Charter of the United Nations and international law.”

  2. “Yesterday the General Assembly once again expressed itself clearly on the issue (see A/ES-11/PV.19), reiterating its demand that Russia withdraw from the entire territory of Ukraine, in addition to reaffirming its commitment to Ukraine’s independence, unity and territorial integrity and calling for a just and lasting peace in line with the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Spain is here in the Council today to reaffirm that because those of us in Ukraine and Europe are not alone in facing this war. Russia’s unilateral actions are also an attack on the most basic norms and principles governing relations among States, which are a key condition for the maintenance of international peace, the founding purpose of the Organization.”

  3. “Thousands of Ukrainian civilians have been identified as having been killed in the war, and there are more than 14 million displaced persons. There is alarming evidence of massive violations of the human rights of the Ukrainian population. Those responsible for those very serious actions must be held accountable for such acts, which is something that Spain will wholeheartedly support. There must be peace and justice in Ukraine. The use of the veto by the Russian Federation is preventing the Security Council from exercising its primary role as the guarantor of international peace and security. No country should be able to abuse that right for its own ends and use it as carte blanche to violate international law without consequences. However, that veto will not prevent the international community from reacting.”

  4. “Every day that Russian troops remain on sovereign and independent Ukrainian territory undermines that responsibility. Spain strongly supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. Like many voices here today and in the General Assembly yesterday (see A/ES-11/PV.18 and A/ES-11/PV.19), Spain demands the immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of all military forces of the Russian Federation from all Ukrainian territory and the return to its internationally recognized borders. No reason can justify this aggression. Furthermore, we express our strongest condemnation of Russia’s indiscriminate shelling of civilian targets and infrastructure, which constitutes an unacceptable violation of international humanitarian law.”

  5. “Mr. Albares Bueno (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): I thank you, Madam President, very much for having convened this meeting. Today marks one year since the tragic beginning of the Russian Federation’s illegal aggression against Ukraine, in flagrant violation of international law and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Ukraine’s existence, peace and the most fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter are at stake. Such a violation is all the more unacceptable as it comes from a permanent member of the Security Council, an organ to which the United Nations Charter entrusts the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security and upholding the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”
