At today’s UNSC Briefing on Ukraine, the Permanent Representative of Greece:
↪️ Underlined that Russia must cease its aggression immediately and agree to a full, comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire, that will be based on international law, the UN Charter, as well as on credible and robust security guarantees, that will preclude the recurrence of war and ensure an independent, democratic, and sovereign future for Ukraine.
↪️ Stressed that the only way forward is not through escalation and explicit or implicit threats to expand the war but through more dialogue and diplomacy.
↪️ Reiterated that any peace negotiations must be based on full respect of international law and the principles of sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states.
↪️ Condemned the recurring blatant violation of the foundational principles of International humanitarian law in Ukraine and stressed that parties to a conflict must take all feasible precautions to protect the civilian population and civilian objects under their control.
