Glorifying leaders who wage wars of aggression is not being on the right side of history. Standing on the right side of history means standing with those who defend their freedom, not with those who seek to undermine it.

 

We pay tribute to the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people defending their sovereignty and freedom.

 

Borders cannot be changed by force. We agreed all on this.

There cannot be redrawing of borders with violence and terror. Aggression must never be rewarded.

 

High Representative Christian Schmidt stands firmly for peace based on the UN Charter — in Ukraine, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and everywhere.
