Real peace is restoration of internationally recognized borders of Ukraine, - Kuleba
Real peace is the restoration of internationally recognized borders of Ukraine and a world united by the rule of international law.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, wrote about this in his column for the German publication Die Welt, Censor.NET reports with reference to Euro Integration.
Kuleba noted that no other country in the world seeks peace as much as Ukraine. But at the same time, proposals for negotiations from around the world do not take into account the fact that Moscow does not want peace.
Kuleba emphasized that Russia continues to carry out brutal attacks on Ukrainian villages and cities with the aim of killing more people and seizing more territories - this does not look like a desire to negotiate, stop aggression and restore peace.
According to him, the Ukrainian side is studying the peace proposals that are being made and welcomes any initiative that respects the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the principles of the UN Charter and the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly, because "true peace must be just and lasting."
"There will be no real peace neither for Ukraine nor for the rest of the world if Russia does not bear full responsibility for all its crimes, including the crime of aggression against Ukraine and all subsequent war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide," Kuleba emphasized.
According to him, the future of Euro-Atlantic security is decided on the battlefield in Ukraine.
"If we make a mistake now and decide to reward Putin for his aggression in any form instead of defeating him as a lesson for all other potential aggressors, the future of Ukraine, Europe and the whole world will be put in jeopardy," Kuleba believes.
"Real peace is the restoration of internationally recognized borders of Ukraine. Real peace is a safe homeland for the Crimean Tatar people in Ukrainian Crimea. Real peace is ships with grain, not warships in the Black Sea. Real peace is a world united by the supremacy of international law. This is what we are fighting for - not only for victory in the war, but also for real, long-lasting peace," he summarized.
