Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday asked the US to withdraw the sanctions it imposed on Russia as their punitive action is causing immense suffering across the globe.
"I think that it is justified to retreat from the act of punishing one country which is hurting the people of the whole world,” she said while inaugurating the new building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka, reports UNB.
The prime minister joined the event virtually from her official residence Ganobhaban.
She said that the US-led sanctions were tantamount to a violation of human rights as it is not fair to deprive all humans of their basic rights.
Hasina said it is unfortunate that when the whole world is being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic the Russia-Ukraine war has brought more miseries.
