Spain Prioritizes Ending Russia-Ukraine War
(MENAFN) Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez emphasized on Tuesday that ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is the foremost priority, advocating for a “just and lasting peace” for Ukraine’s capital.
In a post on X, Sanchez declared, “The priority is to end the war, and to secure a just and lasting peace and security for Ukraine.”
He highlighted the unity among European countries in pursuing a diplomatic resolution that protects the critical security interests of both Ukraine and the continent.
The Spanish premier further affirmed that Spain and the European Union stand firmly with the people of Ukraine.
Sanchez’s statements followed an EU foreign ministers’ summit convened on August 11.
Regarding the upcoming August 15 meeting in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares commented, “Decisions concerning Ukraine also affect Europe, and therefore Europeans must participate in negotiations, which should begin with an unconditional and verifiable ceasefire as the first step toward a just and lasting peace.”
Albares added, “Europe and Ukraine want peace, but aggression must have consequences. Without Ukraine, no decision can be made on Ukraine; without Europeans, there can be no discussion about Europe’s security.”
