The National Unity Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar condemns the unprovoked acts of war directed against Ukraine and its people. These acts are a flagrant violation of the United Nations (UN) Charter and international law.

The terrifying, escalating attacks on Ukraine – conducted from air, land and sea – have already claimed an unknown number of lives and driven tens of thousands of civilians from their homes. 

Myanmar calls on to respect the territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty of Ukraine. Current situation in Ukraine is a violation of the United Nations Charter and international law and is not a good example in the 21st century. Moreover, it will be a major obstacle to the maintenance of international peace, security, and human development.

Myanmar stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
