Sánchez appeals to “alliances not vassalage” relations between countries: “This does not have good or bad letters”
The president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has defended a “just and lasting peace” in Ukraine and has assured that a future peace agreement cannot be “at the expense of rewarding the Putin aggressor.” Sánchez, who has intervened in the closing of the 17 Congress of the Murcian PSOE in Cartagena shortly before traveling to London for the Summit on Ukraine, has reaffirmed his support for President Ukraine Volodimir Zelenski and his country after the dialectical shock in the oval office with the US president, Donald Trump, and has assured that the international relations of the XXI century must be “Of alliances, not vassalage.”
Sánchez has considered that “this does not go if you have good or bad letters” (Trump told Zelenski on Friday did not have the right letters to negotiate) because the only letter that “is worth it is the letter of the United Nations that consecrates respect for territorial integrity, to national sovereignty and the right of peoples to exist, as Ukraine is defending Ukraine for three years.”
“The time when international relations had sovereign countries and other subject countries is over. Today we defend an international order from free, equal and sovereign countries, so we defend Ukraine of the threat ”of Russia, he has clarified. He said that we must defend “an international order based on rules” and that the main one is respect for borders, territorial integrity and “not the law of the strongest” or “wild west.”
The Ukrainians, have continued, are not only defending their freedom but also the security of Europe “before the neoliberalism” of Putin, which what he wants is to “unilaterally annexed territories of the east and east of Europe.” (Agencies)
