On the anniversary which marks the beginning of the aggression by the Russian Federation on the Ukrainian territory, Minister Ian Borg presided over the United Nations Security Council during a presentation by the Secretary General of the United Nations António Guterres on peace and security in Ukraine.
During his intervention, the Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade Ian Borg claimed that just and lasting peace is the only solution to this conflict and therefore Malta will remain committed to be a voice about the consequences that are being created by the Russian aggression.
Minister Borg explained how this aggression is a blatant violation of international laws and the principles of the United Nations. He continued by reminding how it is essential that there is accountability for the violation of these principles, including justice for the victims of these atrocities.
During this debate, which was addressed by all member states of the Security Council as well as a number of other member states of the United Nations, Minister Ian Borg once again reiterated the support of the Maltese Government for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and claimed that as a country that believes in multilateralism, it is our duty to continue to defend and promote these principles and values of the UN Charter.
