Lebanese Foreign Ministry Condemns Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry on Thursday condemned Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and called on Moscow to “immediately halt military operations.”

“In light of the military invasions that Lebanon’s modern history witnessed, which inflicted heavy losses on it and its people… Lebanon condemns the invasion of Ukrainian territory and calls on Russia to immediately halt military operations,” the Ministry said in a statement.

Lebanon calls on Moscow to “withdraw its forces and return to the approach of dialogue and negotiations, as the best means to resolve the current conflict, in a manner that would preserve the sovereignty, security and concerns of both parties and that would contribute to sparing the peoples of the two countries, the European continent and the world the tragedies and pain of wars,” the statement added.
