Abuja – Senior advocate and founder, Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Aare Afe Babalola, on Monday urged the world to prevail on Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine to give way for peace and indeed the way forward out of the crisis.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti, titled, ‘Ukraine: A victim of Russia’s expansion and world abandonment’, Babalola said, “The recent unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a classic example of the popular saying ‘that when the strong does what he likes, the weak suffers what he must’.
“How else can one describe the act of one of the most powerful countries in the world in invading a struggling state with numberless tanks, bombers and missiles from the sea, land and air thereby destroying valuable properties and killing thousands of innocent people including women, government officials and ministers with relish”.
