Lipavský to UN: Russia must withdraws unconditionally from whole of Ukraine

The Czech minister of foreign affairs, Jan Lipavský, says Russia must withdraw unconditionally from the whole of Ukraine. In an address to the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, Mr. Lipavský said Russia’s aggression, which has now been going on for a year, had caused unimaginable suffering both in Ukraine and elsewhere.

The Czech foreign policy chief warned against the temptation of adopting a neutral position, saying that if the world did not act now it would be accepting a new international order based on the use of force and colonialism.
