Archbishop of Canterbury: Int support to defend Ukraine must continue

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, says that the allies of Ukraine must act in a way that is ethical and wise in order to bring peace and reconciliation with justice.

As Telegraph reported, he says the war of attrition will continue until one side seeks a negotiated settlement and in the meantime, choices must be made on action leading to sustainable peace.

He said international support to defend Ukraine must continue.

Justin Welby said: “We must show there is no impunity for wars of aggression”.

Ukraine cannot be forced into a Munich Agreement-like compromise and Ukrainians must not be pressured into an unjust peace.

“Provided a just peace between Russia and Ukraine can be achieved, there must be a security structure that makes another war unlikely.

Russia cannot end up like Germany after 1919; it must be able to recover and be secure without being allowed to repeat its aggression”.

He adds: “The Ukrainian defense is one of the most heroic examples of courage and improvisation since the British at Dunkirk”.
