Two years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the European Union together with Spain, Germany and France in Honduras reaffirm their solidarity with Ukraine.
February 19, 2024, Tegucigalpa- The Ambassador of the European Union (EU) in Honduras, Jaume Segura, the Ambassador of Germany, Daniela Vogl, the Ambassador of France, Cédric Prieto, and the Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of Spain, Baltasar Fernández received an official visit from the Special Representative of Ukraine for Latin America and the Caribbean, Ambassador Ruslan Spirin.
During the visit, the EU, Spain, France and Germany reiterated their commitment to provide political, humanitarian, economic and military support to Ukraine in the face of Russia's invasion. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and 10 years since Russia first invaded Ukraine, the EU and its Member States continue to support the restoration of the full sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and its 1991 borders.
The European Union and its member states have acted primarily on three criteria: support for Ukraine, pressure on Russia to stop its illegal aggression, and help the rest of the world deal with the consequences of the invasion.
