Balgarianovinite.com Taking a BTA reporter’s question here on Tuesday, UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock said that the whole lesson of the United Nations and their strongest asset is not to give up even in the darkest times. She gave a news conference at the European Parliament building after a speech in the plenary hall as part of the February plenary session.
Baerbock began the news conference with a short speech that covered key matters in international affairs. After, the BTA special correspondent asked her what is the best way to finally achieve peace in Ukraine from the UN’s perspective, given that it will soon be four years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces, and sanctions and attempts at negotiations have not yielded result. Baerbock replied every day in war is one day too long. “So, any initiative on finding peace and also coming to a ceasefire is crucial. Not only for the people in Ukraine, which are going now through the fourth winter of this horrible war, but same accounts for other situations around the world.”
In her words, over these four years, the UN member states have made clear that peace only is sustainable if it is based on the international order and the UN Charter. “Therefore, the discussions with regard to the sovereignty of Ukraine, like it would be with every other country, are crucial if we are talking about lasting peace and if we are talking about sustainable peace. And yes, for human beings it is very hard to face a situation where you might think we have tried already now for a couple of years, maybe we should give in. But the whole story and the whole lesson of the United Nations is that their strongest asset is, even in the darkest times, to not give up, but to stand up for the principles,” she argued. The aim should be to stand up for the principles and the peace order grounded in the UN Charter, and not finding a deal which in the end invites for further escalation and for further aggression, she specified.
In her brief opening statement, the President of the UN General Assembly said that a transregional alliance of those interested in preserving the international order was necessary. She noted that preserving the international order was key to respecting human rights, peace, and the well-being of people around the world.
Baerbock expressed the opinion that the current situation in the world is very similar to that of four years ago, when Russian forces invaded Ukraine.
The former German foreign minister stressed that the UN needs Europe. She also underscored that the majority of UN member states know that their membership in the organization is their “life insurance.” UN General Assembly President: UN’s Strongest Asset Is Not Giving Up Even in Darkest Times 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-02-10 17:24:29 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
