On February 24 last year, Russia launched its illegal, unjustifiable, and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine, which is also an attack on the rule of law and the principles of the UN Charter. On the eve of the one-year mark, we reaffirm our unwavering support for Ukraine and unity in our condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression and the resulting tragic loss of life and destruction of property. We remain determined to foster international cooperation to uphold multilateralism and address the global economic hardships caused by Russia’s war and its weaponization of food and energy, which are disproportionately felt by low- and middle-income countries.
