EU envoys, Ukraine pay tribute to war victims

On the first anniversary of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the European Union ambassador, heads of missions of EU member states, and like-minded nations, along with Ukraine Charge d’Affaires Ivan Konovalov, held a meeting on Friday to commemorate the victims. The envoys observed a minute of silence to pay tribute to the victims of the ongoing military conflict. Adam Burakowski, Poland’s ambassador to India, condemned the Russian offensive against Ukraine. Speaking to ANI, Burakowski said Poland has been providing all kinds of support to Ukraine.
“Poland has condemned the Russian aggression against Ukraine from day one. We offer all kinds of support to Ukraine. We stood with Ukraine from day one. We have received millions of refugees from Ukraine, and we are also supporting Ukraine by giving it all kinds of help, humanitarian, but also military. We are supporting them with weapons, and we are really making this war. We are really informing all the world about this war, which is absolutely unacceptable,” Burakowski said to ANI.
He added, “This is unprovoked and unjustified aggression against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, and Russia is the only responsible country for this aggression. And we know that Ukraine will win, and we are helping Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine.” Speaking to ANI, Jan Thesleff, Sweden’s Ambassador to India, said, “Today is a very sad commemoration. It’s a commemoration of an aggression that was unprovoked and brutal and illegal that started on the 24 February one year ago.”
