NINETEEN foreign envoys, led by the United States and the European Union, condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said it further hurt the poorest among the poor in the Philippines who are still reeling from the economic effects of the pandemic.
The Ukrainian Parliament declared its independence from the Soviet Union on August 24, 1991, confirmed by the people’s overwhelming support in a referendum four months later. The ambassadors said they will refuse to recognize Russia’s continued attempts to “re-draw borders by force,” which they insisted are a “blatant violation of international law” as well as of the United Nations Charter.“In light of this, we continue to commit to demonstrating global solidarity through working to address the international repercussions of Russia’s aggression, especially on the most vulnerable,” they said.
The Department of Foreign Affairs had no reaction on the statement of solidarity of the 19 ambassadors. DFA Assistant Secretary Eduardo Meñez said DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo sent the customary greetings to his Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba.
