A just and lasting peace in Ukraine must be based on the principle of territorial integrity.
This was stated by Sweden's Foreign Minister, Maria Stenberg, during her speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.
“The principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states must serve as the foundation for a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Ukraine. This was reaffirmed during the Peace Summit in Switzerland in June, which included about 100 national delegations from all continents,” Stenberg said.
She believes that if a Security Council member is allowed to reap the benefits of aggression, the destructive influence will not cease in Ukraine.
“Russia's leadership will continue to try to subordinate other states to its rule,” the diplomat emphasized.
She added that
“Sweden’s unwavering support for Ukraine's efforts to restore its sovereignty and territorial integrity will continue for as long as necessary.”
