LONDON, 26 February 2022, (TON): Foreign Secretary Liz Truss condemned Russia’s unprovoked and premeditated attack on 24 February 2022 against Ukraine, a sovereign, democratic European country.
Chairman, colleagues, as I speak, Russia is conducting an unprovoked and premeditated invasion of a sovereign, democratic European country.
The UK and our international partners stand united in condemning this reprehensible attack on Ukraine.
It is an egregious violation of international law, the UN Charter and core principles of the OSCE.
President Putin’s so-called ‘precision strikes’ have already destroyed apartment blocks and killed, wounded, and displaced innocent civilians.
We call on Russia to withdraw its forces completely from Ukrainian territory immediately, and to refrain from further aggression.
Over recent weeks, the Russian government repeatedly denied their hostile intent towards their neighbour. At the same time, they massed troops, launched cyber-attacks, and staged false pretexts and provocations.
