In its statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine also notes that Russia, in almost three years of war, has deepened a military alliance with North Korea and Iran which pose a growing threat to security and global stability. .
“The growing interaction of these three regimes demonstrates that Russian aggression against Ukraine is a global threat that destabilizes Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. It requires a global response,” he said. he said.
“We need peace through force and not through appeasement,” insists the ministry, referring to the “policy of appeasement”, a term referring to British attempts to avoid war with Nazi Germany by making, ultimately in vain, concessions to Adolf Hitler.
