The prime minister’s entire statement

“Dear colleagues, a year ago it was not obvious that this Synod would take place. Russia did everything it could to prevent it from happening. Today, however, 109 countries and international organizations are represented around this table, demonstrating, as the Dutch Prime Minister said, that the conflict in Ukraine is a global issue. Much was discussed in our sessions. First of all food safety, food safety.

The president of Kenya mentioned the effects of the lack of grain and fertilizers on farmers. Of course, I would like to express my satisfaction with the joint communique, which highlights the importance of full and free navigation and support for Ukraine’s reconstruction. I was in Odessa with Vladimir when a missile hit the port. We need to maintain the level of exports from Ukraine in order to maintain food security.

Furthermore, we are all here to demonstrate our commitment to international law and to reinforce the importance of the United Nations Charter. To remind everyone that international law must be respected, that countries and peoples have the right to choose their governments and determine their future.

And of course, nuclear safety cannot be jeopardized, nor can food safety. We all agree that this peace cannot be the result of a capitulation and therefore we will help Ukraine with all our powers to reach a lasting and just peace through proper negotiations.

Finally, I would like to touch on the issue of the importance of humanitarian law not only for Ukraine, but also for Sudan and Gaza, the protection of civilians. And of course to ensure the return of the hostages, the release of prisoners, war and abducted children”.
