Accompanied by her colleagues Liberian Lima Gbowe and American Judy Williams, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights activist has arrived in Ukraine to condemn the Russian aggression and express their solidarity with Ukrainians.<\/p>\n
The three Nobel laureates visited a refugee camp in Lviv, the largest city in western Ukraine, and listened to the suffering of its refugees.<\/p>\n
In the meanwhile, they also met with the governor and mayor of Lviv that is considered a very important city for hosting refugees and displaced persons.<\/p>\n
In a speech to Ukrainian refugees in Poland, Tawakkol Karman stated that Putin turned Ukraine from a basket of global food into a disaster area whose cities have been destroyed, its population displaced, its services disrupted, and its territory occupied.<\/p>\n
She also noted that the adventures by some regimes and governments have certainly contributed to the expansion of conflicts, wars and chaos.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, she said that it is a wrong choice to resort to the war as an alternative to politics and negotiation, stressing that such a thing should be rejected by everyone and that it\u2019s important to discard leaders and governments who see wars as legitimate ways to expand and obtain political and economic benefits.<\/p>\n
