  1. “But such a debate is impossible while the sovereignty and territorial integrity of one of the parties is being violated. That is a matter of respect for the most basic principles underpinning the multilateral edifice embodied by the United Nations.”

  2. “The European Union will stand united in its quest for peace. We will continue to provide strong political, economic, military, financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine for as long as necessary, and we will contribute to the reconstruction of that war-torn country. We will also continue to strive to ensure full accountability for war crimes and other serious crimes that may have been committed, using whatever multilateral instruments are available to us. However, I conclude by saying that in order to achieve peace, it is necessary for Russia to end its aggression and to immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its troops from the entire territory of Ukraine. We believe that it is possible to have a broad debate on security in Europe in which the legitimate interests and concerns of all are taken into account.”

  3. “I therefore make a solemn appeal to the Russian Federation to return immediately to the Black Sea Grain Initiative and to stop using hunger as a weapon of war. Its position is simply deplorable. Spain and Europe want peace and are working for it. The aim is to put an end to the aggression and to the suffering of the Ukrainian people, but it is also to defend the international rules-based order that makes possible peaceful coexistence among nations. We are working with the international community to broaden the consensus towards achieving a just and lasting peace. We support President Zelenskyy’s peace formula, which respects international law and the United Nations Charter. It will be up to Ukraine to determine the timing and conditions for initiating the process to end the conflict.”

  4. “The situation is serious because it pertains to issues that we thought we had overcome decades ago, such as the fact that the legitimate aspirations of one State, including its security concerns, cannot be defended at the cost of forcibly violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another. It is even more serious when those principles are undermined by a permanent member of the main international organ charged with ensuring them, namely, the Security Council, before which we find ourselves today. The impact of the war at the global level is devastating. It is affecting food security as well as nuclear and energy security worldwide, with dire consequences for millions of people, especially those living in vulnerable countries.”

  5. “Mr. Sánchez Pérez-Castejón (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): Spain and the European Union are firmly committed to effective multilateralism that upholds the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. It is within the multilateral framework that, through dialogue and diplomacy, the great agreements that ensure peace, freedom and prosperity for our fellow citizens can be reached. That is precisely why I wish to reiterate our strong condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, as well as our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. There is no room for parity when analysing the situation — in this conflict, there is clearly an aggressor and a victim.”
