  2. “We are, and will always, be ready to contribute to achieving a just and sustainable peace that enables an immediate and lasting ceasefire, with the withdrawal of the Russian Federation’s troops from the territory of Ukraine and the guarantee of nuclear safety and the safety of nuclear facilities, under the monitoring of the International Atomic Energy Agency; a just and sustainable peace that ensures the monitored release of prisoners and deportees, with special urgent attention to the situation of children and that ensures the credibility of international justice through a thorough investigation and accountability for all war crimes and crimes against humanity and their perpetrators.”

  4. “I therefore welcome the Albanian presidency’s initiative to convene this crucial open debate. Portugal’s position is clear. We are, and will always be, on the side of international law, the Charter of the United Nations and any General Assembly resolution condemning the aggression against Ukraine and demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops. We are, and will always be, in solidarity with the efforts for the legitimate of defence of Ukraine, its formula for peace and its struggle to restore sovereignty, while supporting its contribution to global food security. We are, and will always be, in solidarity with the victims, the refugees, whom we have always welcomed, the Secretary- General’s efforts to create humanitarian corridors and conditions for the return of thousands of children taken from their families and illegally deported.”

  5. “President Rebelo de Sousa (spoke in Portuguese; English interpretation provided by the delegation): How do we measure human suffering? How do we measure the pain of an orphaned child, of parents who have lost children, of the mutilated and of victims of torture? How does one resist and survive all that and continue fighting for one’s family, home and country? I was in Ukraine a few weeks ago, and it is impossible to remain indifferent to the unspeakable devastation in Bucha and Moschun, which are tragic examples of inhumanity and suffering. But it is also impossible not to admire the inspiring vitality and moral strength embodied in the resistance and resilience of the Ukrainian people, who are admirably defending themselves against an illegal, unjust and immoral invasion.”
