Ukrainian Envoy Thanks Thailand, Urges the Kingdom to Do Even More

Thailand's Principled Stand Draws Thanks from Kyiv

Viktor Semenov, chargé d'affaires at the Embassy of Ukraine in Thailand, spoke on Friday in Bangkok to thank the Thai government for its clear support of Ukrainian sovereignty and the UN Charter during Russia's full-scale invasion that has now passed the four-year mark.

Five Million Baht in Aid Reflects Thai Compassion

Semenov specifically acknowledged the Thai government's delivery of 5 million baht in humanitarian assistance, noting how this concrete contribution aligns with Thailand's long tradition of offering help to communities facing hardship across Southeast Asia.

Thai Journalists Hear Direct Account of the Conflict

During the briefing for Thai media in Bangkok, Semenov described 600 square kilometres of territory liberated since January 2026, 1,500 attacks on Ukrainian railways, and the continued occupation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by Russian forces.

Thailand Urged to Remember the Fight for International Law

Semenov asked Thai people not to forget the war, explaining that Ukraine fights for the UN Charter and international law, a position that resonates with Thailand's own foreign policy of upholding sovereignty and peaceful dispute resolution within ASEAN.

Thailand Could Help Return Abducted Children

Semenov highlighted the abduction of 20,000 Ukrainian children by Russia, actions a UN commission has described as crimes against humanity, and suggested Thailand's respected international voice could help press for their return while staying true to its neutral yet law-based stance.

Heavy Human Cost Touches Thai Sense of Community

The briefing detailed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed, 5,000 North Korean troops reported killed or injured, and 22 per cent of Ukrainian land now hazardous from unexploded ordnance, facts that echo the Thai cultural emphasis on protecting families and future generations from violence.
