The President of Malta George Vella described the attacks as “worrying” and expressed his support for the Ukrainian government and its people.

The President of Malta called for an immediate end to the attacks and for the withdrawal of the Russian forces from Ukraine. He stressed that Ukrainès integrity, sovereignty and independence must be respected. Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela has described the scenes in Ukraine as “heartbreaking”.
