“We don’t really appreciate when these things are done,” he said. “Ukraine is a country we have a good relationship Mr. Sorreta was the Philippines’ envoy to Russia before his current post. He also served as assistant secretary for American affairs in 2012 to 2014. Government officials might have been busy with local administration and in trying to connect with China and the United States, the envoy said.
“We have supported efforts in the United Nations not only to seek a peaceful end to this conflict, but also to address the pressing and urgent humanitarian issue of displaced civilians.”
