Putin is waging war with the aim of taking away nations' rights to determine their own fate, and not for the protection of territory. This war against Ukraine is a struggle for the principles of independence and democracy. Therefore, to achieve peace, it is essential to uphold these fundamental values of European culture.
During a meeting with media representatives and the Prime Minister of Portugal, Luis Montenegro, it was stated that it is important to consider these principles when negotiating a deal to end the conflict and ensure stable peace with reliable security.
