However, a defeat does not mean the destruction of Russia, but simply its withdrawal from Ukraine, because it must be made clear once and for all that wars of conquest in Europe must belong to the past.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is no room for manoeuvre for credible guarantees from the Russian regime, because: \u201cThe Russian regime has broken all treaties and agreements,\u201d emphasises Paneuropa Secretary General Rainhard Kloucek. Only the complete withdrawal of the Russian army and mercenary groups from the whole of Ukraine can bring security and peace to Europe. This applies in particular to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Furthermore, Putin and his nomenklatura must be held personally accountable before the International Criminal Court.   <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Without Russia&#8217;s defeat and in the event of a potential freezing of the conflict along the current front line, Putin would not only be rewarded with territorial gain for a war of aggression, but would also use the pause to rearm. No European country between Finland, the Baltics, Eastern Europe, and Moldova would accept this. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From Europe, the Paneuropa Movement Austria expects more intensive support for Ukraine and laments that many debates in German-speaking countries show that many have not yet understood the gravity of the situation. The largest war on European soil in decades is currently raging in Ukraine. An axis of totalitarian regimes in Russia \u2013 Iran \u2013 Belarus \u2013 North Korea, tolerated by China, threatens everything Europe stands for: the rule of law, democracy, freedom, and the right to self-determination of peoples.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cUkraine, against which a war has been waged since 2014, has shown, despite all challenges, that it is reforming, that it is becoming more democratic, that it has an enormously engaged, critical civil society,\u201d emphasises Stefan Hab\u00f6ck, Vice-President of Paneuropa Austria. This is also demonstrated by Ukraine&#8217;s resistance to the invading army: while all segments of Ukrainian society, from athletes to scientists, from entrepreneurs to medical professionals, volunteer to defend their country, Putin sends ethnic minorities, men from poorer regions, and prisoners to the front as cannon fodder. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The unconditional unity of Europe and cooperation with Western partners is the key to re-establishing peace and security in Europe.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On behalf of Paneuropa Ukraine, Secretary General Rainhard Kloucek and Vice-President Stefan Hab\u00f6ck also express their gratitude for the enormous readiness of Austrians to provide aid and donations. \u201cThe people in Ukraine greatly appreciate this willingness to help,\u201d say Kloucek and Hab\u00f6ck. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Featured image: c creativesforukraine Medil\u0117 \u0160iaulytyt\u0117<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anniversary of the Invasion: Ukraine Defends Europe&#8217;s Freedom.
