“Malta believes that the way forward in terms of the
Russian aggression on Ukraine is a resolution for peace based on international
laws and the basic principles of the United Nations.” Minister for Foreign and
European Affairs and Trade Ian Borg outlined this while addressing a Special
Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States.
During his speech for this urgent resolution, Minister
Ian Borg reiterated how as a country, Malta is very much concerned with what is
happening in Ukraine by the Russian Federation, even owing to the fact that
this goes against the basic principles of the United Nations. He claimed that
Russia’s actions, which go against international laws, should be condemned
without any reservation.
Minister Borg reminded how those committing these acts,
that go against human rights, should be held accountable.
Malta will continue to push, together with the
international community, for the Russian Federation to withdraw its forces from
the Ukrainian territory, and for a peaceful solution based on international
laws and the principles of the United Nations. Minister Ian Borg concluded by
stating how Malta is giving its support to the 11/5 resolution which promotes
the remedy for the aggression against Ukraine, and further encouraged more
countries to do so.
