<h6><strong>Eduardo González</strong></h6> <h4><strong>Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called on the United Nations Security Council this Tuesday to ensure that the possible peace agreement in Ukraine does not serve to legitimize “violence or the forcible alteration of borders.”</strong></h4> Sánchez participated in the United Nations Security Council session convened by Korea, within the framework of the High-Level Week of the 80th UN General Assembly in New York. In his speech, the Prime Minister called for “peace to come to Ukraine once and for all” and denounced, three and a half years after the invasion, that the Russian aggression is “an unacceptable violation of international law and the values we share as an international community,” which is particularly serious given that it was perpetrated by “a permanent member of this Council, charged with ensuring world peace.” Pedro Sánchez also warned that any peace agreement "must be firmly anchored in respect for international law and the United Nations Charter" and expressed his rejection of "solutions that legitimize violence or the forcible alteration of borders." He also reiterated that Spain supports Ukraine with military and humanitarian aid, the training of more than 8,000 soldiers, and the hosting of 240,000 displaced persons. He once again denounced the deliberate bombings against civilians and essential infrastructure, as well as the violations of European airspace, as "absolutely unacceptable."
