OPINION | Might makes not right, unjust wars are doomed to be lost [By Josep Borrell] READ:

The facts are that Russia, a major nuclear power, has attacked and invaded a peaceful and democratic neighboring country, which posed no threat to it, nor provoked it. Moreover, President Vladimir Putin is threatening reprisals on any other state that may come to the rescue of the people of Ukraine. Such use of force and coercion has no place in the 21What President Putin is doing is not only a grave violation of international law, it is a violation of the basic principles of human co-existence.

The international community will now in response opt for a full-scale isolation of Russia, to hold President Putin accountable for this aggression. We are sanctioning those who finance the war, crippling the Russian banking system and it access to international reserves. The Kremlin propagandists call the invasion “a special operation,” but this cynical euphemism cannot hidew the fact that we witness a fully-fledged invasion of Ukraine, with the aim to crush its freedom, legitimate government and democratic structures. Calling the Kyiv government “neo-nazi” and “Russophobic” is nonsense: all manifestations of Nazism are banned in Ukraine.

Although far away, what happens in Europe matters to this region. The people in South East Asia, including in the Philippines, unfortunately know too well what war is. They have experienced the suffering associated with the war. They know why it is so important to fight for freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. They understand very well what the people of Ukraine are going through.
