Here is what I emphasised at #MSC2023 Women’s Breakfast: Russia’s aggression is not only European issue or “regional conflict”. What is at stake in Ukraine is the right to exist as a country. Russia is testing if conquering and colonizing in the 21st century is acceptable. 1/

We must step up military support, and continue to raise the cost of war for Moscow, until the last Russian soldier has left Ukraine.
We must hold war criminals accountable.
We must cut off Russia´s export revenues. We must make Russia pay for everything it destroys. 3/
