Topic: Situation in Ukraine
The Russia-Ukraine war has been persisting for almost 3 years. This full-blown invasion of Ukrainian land by Russia has caused countless atrocities. Since February 2022, the war in Ukraine has rapidly become one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. This is due to the sheer amount of time this war has been going on. Nearly 4 million citizens have been displaced from their homes. On top of that, Ukraine also has the second-largest refugee population in the world. This makes getting aid to these civilians extremely hard. The Russian military has been constantly bombarding Ukrainian cities and villages, destroying hospitals and schools. Ukrainian cities like Lysychansk, Luhansk, Alchevsk, Horlivka, and Mariupol are currently under Russian occupation. The fall of other important Ukrainian cities, like Pokrovsk, is imminent, as Ukraine faces increasing pressure from the Russian military. Due to this, many routes of supplies and aid have been disrupted, slowing the flow of these needed supplies to civilians. The UN itself has called upon member countries to help end this conflict and provide the necessary aid to Ukraine.
Since the first day of this conflict, France has chosen to stand firmly with Ukraine and provide the necessary aid to its European ally. The European Council’s Heads of State and Government met on June 23 and 24, 2022, and voted to acknowledge Georgia’s European viewpoint while granting candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova for EU admission.
The visit to Kyiv by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian President of the Council of Ministers Mario Draghi, and Romanian President Klaus Iohannis made that historic step possible. In order to support Ukraine on its European journey, France and its European allies will keep up their efforts. Going along with this, France continues to provide all kinds of aid, like financial assistance, humanitarian, and reconstruction. As of September 1, 2024, more than €434 million had been allocated to humanitarian aid, supporting essential sectors ranging from water, hygiene, education, and health, ensuring food security, protecting fundamental rights, and improving access to healthcare.
France will continue to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia and their invasion. France aims to keep coordinating with its European partners in order to prevent Russia from exploiting the strength of its military and to contribute to bringing peace to Ukraine. Measures like increasing the sanctions on Russia will continue to weaken the Russian military and government as well. There is no peace in the world if violence is rewarded. France will continue to fight against Russia and its imperialist views of Ukraine, a sovereign nation. France encourages other countries to join its cause in denouncing Russia’s actions and to support the cause France, and many other European nations, have to end this war.
