The Ministry calls on the international community to take all measures to de-escalate the situation and stop the violence.

"We are deeply concerned about the developments in Ukraine. Russia's military actions undermine Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty, as well as the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law, with dire consequences not only for Ukraine but for the international community as a whole. We express our solidarity with our friendly Ukrainian people. We call on the international community to take all necessary measures to de-escalate the situation and stop the violence," the statement reads.
