the Army Sergey Shoigu reported to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Putin on the liberation of the Lugansk People’s Republic,” the ministry said The ministry added the Russian Armed Forces and the People’s Militia of the LPR have established full control over Lisichansk and a number of nearby settlements the last city in the Lugansk region in eastern Ukraine

districts When Russia embarked on its illegal invasion of Ukraine there was a collective outcry against the monstrous injustice of its aggression The assault flouted all our values and prompted profound revulsion a violation of personal and national space and an outrageously violent reaction to a political dispute A humanitarian tragedy unfolded in the European continent We had not seen images of bombed-out houses displaced families and conscripted men since 1999 President Joe Biden broke protocol – and diplomatic practice – when he spoke “from the heart” to denounce Vladimir Putin as a war criminal and indirectly suggest regime change Other leaders have gone the extra mile to show their closeness to besieged Ukraine the Czech Republic and Slovenia travelled to Kyiv to meet President Zelensky They were followed by the president of the European Parliament British Prime Minister Boris Johnson walked the streets of Kyiv with Zelensky in a show of solidarity European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and the EU’s high representative for foreign affairs Josep Borrell visited Kyiv and the town of Bucha Von der Leyen remarked that this is where “we have seen our humanity shattered” Pope Francis has signalled that he would like to visit Kyiv While there may be diverse motivations for these gestures of solidarity what they have in common is genuine outrage based on ethical principles there is an understanding that the international order has an ethical dimension It can only be guaranteed if nation states are allowed to exercise the right to self-determination while preserving their territorial integrity without the fear of military action this ethical international order serves only to underpin another right – the right to live safely and in peace International organisations and neighbouring and partner countries are reiterating the necessity of protecting innocent civilians as they continue to be killed or displaced been shaped by some of these considerations If the West is to win the battle of ideas and of hearts and minds it must continue to place ethical concerns at the heart of the matter though Russia is not a major economy (the largest country in the world has an economy comparable to that of the state of Texas) it is a major supplier of essential commodities Its isolation through sanctions is already affecting the world economy Will the European Union and other countries baulk at the continuation of sanctions once the impact becomes more serious To what extent can it be relied upon not to escalate the conflict further The goal should be to try and end hostilities as soon as possible and aid Ukraine in restoring some semblance of normality in full respect of its right to self-determination But as the West races against time to provide the victim of this aggression with the arms to defend itself it must also aggressively explore all diplomatic avenues for peace the greater the violence and the greater the loss of life The credibility of the West will be maintained if it acts effectively under the guidance of ethical principles It would risk severe damage to its reputation if it fails please
