The Ukrainian ambassador to Argentina, Yurii Klymenko, emphasizes the importance of finding a solution that respects Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, backed by reliable security guarantees. Klymenko points out that peace should not be based on unjust concessions to the aggressor or on solutions imposed behind Ukraine's back.
Amid fierce battles with Russian troops in the Donetsk region, international efforts to establish peace in Ukraine as soon as possible are intensifying. The international solidarity shown towards Ukraine, including participation in the First Peace Summit and joining the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children Kidnapped by Russia, reflects the commitment of several countries, including Argentina, to global peace and justice.
The Russian invasion has had devastating consequences, claiming thousands of civilian lives and causing extensive material damage in Ukraine. Additionally, Russia has carried out forced deportations of Ukrainian children and nuclear threats, which have been condemned internationally.
Despite the challenges, Ukraine has demonstrated its institutional capacity and continues to fight for its independence. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are conducting defensive operations to protect the territory and the population from Russian attacks, while diplomatic initiatives are intensified to achieve a peaceful solution. The resilience of the Ukrainian people, international support, and diplomatic efforts remain essential in facing Russian aggression.
President Volodimir Zelensky has presented initiatives such as the Peace Formula and the Victory Plan, seeking to restore security in Ukraine and the world. However, the main obstacle remains Russia, which continues to destabilize the region with its aggressive actions. Ukraine stands firm, resisting attacks and fighting for its freedom and sovereignty.
