The Portuguese head of state stressed that "the goal is to achieve peace" and not "to wage war for war's sake".
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was speaking to journalists in Oeiras on the sidelines of the inauguration of Amnesty International's Human Rights Centre, on the day that Zelenksy arrived in Portugal to sign a bilateral cooperation and security agreement that includes Portugal's commitment to provide Kyiv with military support of at least 126 million euros this year, including financial and in-kind contributions.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa acknowledged that "Ukraine has seen certain rights that international law conferred on it violated", but now considered it essential to "work towards building peace", stressing that this is, "basically, working for human rights, because people are dying, people are suffering and there are millions of people in this situation, many of them refugees, including in Portugal".
The Portuguese President insisted that "the goal is peace" and that, "therefore, there will be one of several summits in Switzerland that will address the issue of peace in the future".
"It is a process, not a moment, not an instant, and Portugal will be represented in this (negotiating) process", said Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, noting that it will be necessary to "find a force to combine various powers of the State".
The agreement signed today includes "humanitarian, financial, military, political" assistance and with regard to the process of integration into the European Union.
The bilateral agreement began to be planned after the last summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), in July last year, in Vilnius (Lithuania), at the time still with the previous Government, and brings together all Portuguese intervention with the Ukrainian authorities since the beginning of the Russian invasion, on 24 February 2022.
