Address condemns Russia's "devastating aggression" in Ukraine and urges end to escalation

Antonio Gosha condemned what he described as "the war of aggression by Russia on Ukraine," calling it a "devastating aggression on a sovereign state committed by a permanent member of the UN Security Council" and a violation of the UN Charter. He warned that such conflicts have wide repercussions for food security, energy markets, migration and global stability, and said Russia must end the escalation.

Gosha urged the international community to "do its utmost and use all of the tools available to it to bring an end to this war and to create the conditions for negotiations for a comprehensive, just and lasting peace." He linked ending the war to preventing broader regional instability and to enabling diplomatic negotiations.
