For Immediate Release

PRESS STATEMENT BY GLOBAL MOVEMENT OF MODERATES OVER SITUATION IN UKRAINE

The Global Movement of Moderates Foundation (GMMF) views with serious concern the current situation in Ukraine. The continuing foreign military intervention in Ukraine is against the conduct of international relations among United Nations member countries.

We call on Russia to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the independent nation of Ukraine and remind Moscow to not contradict their commitment towards international laws and treaties.

GMMF believes in constructive and meaningful dialogue, for the preservation of independence, unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

As concerned global citizens, we support the call by the United Nations and the European Union for the need to de-escalate the situation, and we also urge ASEAN to play an active role through their respective channels.

Dato’ Saifuddin Abdullah

Chief Executive Officer
