Världsledare fördömer Putins invasion av Ukraina

Det tog inte lång tid från det att Ryssland invaderade Ukraina till att världsledare gick ut och fördömde attackerna både i tal och på sociala medier.

FN:s generalsekreterare António Guterres vänder sig direkt till Vladimir Putin och uppmanar honom att dra tillbaka sina trupper ”i mänsklighetens namn”.

Under the present circumstances, I must change my appeal:

President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia.

This conflict must stop now.

— António Guterres (@antonioguterres) February 24, 2022

USA

USA:s president Joe Biden håller inte heller igen i fördömandet av Rysslands agerande.

Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way.

The world will hold Russia accountable.

— President Biden (@POTUS) February 24, 2022

EU

EU-kommissionens ordförande, Europeiska rådets ordförande och EU:s talman har alla uttalat sig.

We will not let President Putin tear down Europe's security architecture.

He should not underestimate the resolve and strength of our democracies.

The European Union stands with Ukraine and its people.

Ukraine will prevail.

— Ursula von der Leyen (@vonderleyen) February 24, 2022

Natos generalsekreterare Jens Stoltenberg pekar ut Rysslands agerande som ett hot mot hela den euro-atlantiska säkerheten.

#NATO Allies condemn in the strongest possible terms #Russia’s horrifying attack on #Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified & unprovoked. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. Russia's actions pose a serious threat to Euro-Atlantic security. https://t.co/1MD6Y8SlGq

Tyskland

Tysklands förbundskansler Olaf Scholz har också fokus på presidenten och inte på Ryssland. Det här är ”Putins krig” skriver han och uppmanar honom att genast avsluta det,

Präsident #Putin bringt Leid und Zerstörung über seine direkten Nachbarn. Er gefährdet das Leben von unzähligen Unschuldigen in der #Ukraine, dem Brudervolk Russlands. Dafür gibt es keine Rechtfertigung, das ist Putins Krieg. Ich fordere ihn auf, den Angriff sofort zu stoppen. pic.twitter.com/MHQ7HyMfbi

I am appalled by the horrific events in Ukraine and I have spoken to President Zelenskyy to discuss next steps.

President Putin has chosen a path of bloodshed and destruction by launching this unprovoked attack on Ukraine.

Canada condemns – in the strongest possible terms – Russia’s egregious attack on Ukraine. These unprovoked actions are a clear further violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and of Russia’s obligations under international law and the Charter of the UN.

Finland

I strongly condemn the military action Russia has taken in Ukraine. The attack is a grave breach of international law and threatens the life of numerous civilians. Finland expresses its solid support to Ukraine and Ukrainians and we are looking for ways to increase this support.
