OPINION | One year of war against Ukraine: Acting together to ensure international law will prevail By Josep Borrell READ:
This war is neither “just a European issue,” nor is it about the “West versus the rest.” It is about the kind of world we all want to live in: no one is safe in a world where the illegal use of force — by a nuclear power and permanent member of the Security Council — would somehow be “normalized.” That is why international law must be enforced everywhere to protect everyone from power politics, blackmail, and military attack.
For the European Union and our partners, there is no alternative to staying the course of our “triple strategy”: supporting Ukraine, putting pressure on Russia to stop its illegal aggression and helping the rest of the world cope with the fallout. Ukraine has shown its remarkable resilience, partly thanks to this support. And Russia has grown more isolated, thanks to global sanctions and the international condemnation by the overwhelming majority of states in the UN General Assembly. Our collective goal is and remains a democratic Ukraine that prevails; pushing out the invader, restoring its full sovereignty and, with that, restoring international legality.
