The Ukrainian embassy in Mexico asked the Mexican government to set a clear position on the conflict with Russia, saying, “so far we have not felt that it condemns the aggression.”
“So far we have not felt very clearly the Mexican position, we very much respect the consistency of its support for ukraine’s territorial integrity, but today we need a very clear statement, a statement condemning Russian aggression. So far, we have not felt it,” Ambassador Oksana Dramarétska told a news conference.

The representative of the Ukrainian government said that Russia “has launched a new war, a large-scale armed conflict,” and that so far dozens of soldiers and civilians have died because of attacks with tanks, planes and artillery, and the bombing continues.
“Those are the results of the first hours of the war unleashed by the Kremlin regime, after months of threats and blackmail. The last time we have seen such actions was in World War II, when another totalitarian ruler decided that he had the right to redraw the borders of sovereign states in Europe and bring death and misery to thousands of people just to realize his perverted wishes,” he said.
