Cleverly agrees with Modi’s remark on Ukraine war

In the speech, he said that Putin’s goal is to turn back the clock to the era when might was right and big countries could treat their neighbours as prey…reports Asian Lite News

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly on Monday said the only route to peace in Europe is to end this war and quoted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s words, “I know that today’s era is not the era of war”, according to a statement released by UK government.

Cleverly said, “He (Putin) is waging a 19th-century war of imperial conquest, deliberately debasing international conduct, utterly contemptuous of today’s values. And by attacking one of the world’s biggest producers of food and fertiliser, he is driving up global prices and inflicting still greater hardship on some of the poorest people around the world.” “Hence it was Prime Minister Modi who told Putin to his face, and I quote: ‘I know that today’s era is not the era of war.’ The only route to peace in Europe is for Putin to end his war and withdraw his troops,” he added.

In the speech, he said that Putin’s goal is to turn back the clock to the era when might was right and big countries could treat their neighbours as prey.

UK Foreign Secretary further stated that they stood against Russia’s invasion and recalled the last Friday’s announcement where the government announced how to develop the combat aircraft hand-in-glove with Italy and Japan.

“As we stand against the Russian invasion, the United Kingdom benefits beyond measure from our rock-solid friendships with the United States of America, with France, with Germany, with Canada, Australia and many others,” Cleverly said.

“Last Friday, we announced how we will develop the next generation of combat aircraft hand-in-glove with Italy and Japan. These vital relationships, constructed over generations, embedded in institutions like NATO and the G7, amount to our greatest source of strength and the foundation stone of British democracy and diplomacy,” he added.  (ANI)
