EU: Russia’s Military Attack on Ukraine is Unprovoked and Unjustified

The day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Council describes Russia’s military attack on Ukraine as unprovoked and unjustified. As emphasized: “The European Council condemns in the strongest possible terms the unprovoked and unjustified military attack by the Russian Federation against Ukraine. With its illegal military actions, Russia is grossly violating international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter, undermining European and global security and stability. The European Council stresses that this includes Ukraine’s right to choose its own destiny. Russia bears full responsibility for this attack and for all the destruction and loss of human life it will cause. Russia will be held accountable for its actions.”
