The Archbishop of Canterbury has appealed to the “great powers” to prevent this Russia of “ending like Germany after 1919” and holding a conference to establish the conditions for peace and security after the war in Ukraine. In a heartfelt plea to world leaders, Most Rev Justin Welby added that Russia must not be allowed to “repeat his aggression” and is urged NATO to maintain the security order of the world – as it happened after World War II. To then lead “lasting peace”. RussiaIn the war of aggression, the archbishop set out a roadmap with three axes.
To enrol The Daily Telegraphhe said: “First, by continuing to invest in defense for Ukraine to continue her campaign, we must show that there is no impunity for wars of aggression. But we also need to combine this with investment in peacebuilding commitment and strategy.
“Second, Ukraine cannot be forced into a compromise similar to the Munich Agreement. Ukrainians must not be pressured into an unjust peace.
“Third, preparations must begin to rebuild when the time comes.”
His call comes as world leaders have pledged to provide additional support Ukraine in defense of the territory against Russian troops.
Rishi Sunak gave a battle cry to allies to “move faster” and help Ukraine to “move forward”, as Britain prepared to send longer-range missiles to Kiev.
At a virtual G7 conference today, the prime minister is expected to call on world leaders to seize an “opportunity” to support Kiev in retaking territory.
While the Archbishop praised the UK and NATO countries for their help Ukraine in his defense he warned: “We are not at war and do not wish war with Russia. Our commitment to UkraineThe defense is in money, not in the lives of our soldiers, and is necessary and right if we are to avoid more difficult choices.”

He also urged world leaders not to repeat the mistakes made in the aftermath of World War I when a conference was held to punish Germany.
The defeated country had to take full responsibility for the war, lost 13 per cent of its land and 12 per cent of its population to the Allies and had to pay full compensation for the damage caused by the war, estimated at £6.6 billion.
Instead, the archbishop said, world leaders should negotiate terms for the end of the war, as the Big Three – the Soviet Union, Britain and the US – did after World War II.
“Today it must happen for a new century, including UN reform, while the costs of conflict fade from most European memories,” the archbishop said.
