West’s hostile actions towards Russia the true reason of Ukrainian events — Damascus
Feysal Mikdad noted that Syria also faces unfriendly actions of the West, including on the issue of repatriation of refugees
The real reason behind the event in Ukraine it the West’s desire to dictate its own terms and act hostile towards Russia, Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Migration Feysal Mikdad said Thursday.
“What is happening in Ukraine today once again demonstrates the trends of diktat and hostility of the West towards the Russian Federation, its security and stability. This is the true reason behind the current situation in Ukraine,” Mikdad said during the meeting of the inter-agency coordination headquarters of Syria and Russia on repatriation of Syrian refugees.
He noted that Western attempts to interfere in internal affairs of other states and dictate how to they should use their own riches and their own future violate all norms of international law and the UN Charter.
“I will use this moment to once again reiterate Syria’s support of the Russian special military operation and the Russia’s right for self-defense and protection of its national security,” Mikdad underscored.
He noted that Syria also faces unfriendly actions of the West, including on the issue of repatriation of refugees.
“To our huge regret, the efforts exerted by the Syrian state and the friendly countries, such as the Russian Federation, for example, are still being met with some states and organizations using this exclusively humanitarian issue to achieve their political goals,” the Foreign Minister said.
