MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Wednesday called for an agreement that would prevent the Ukraine crisis from escalating into a "conflagration" that would affect the world while it is still grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Acting presidential spokesman Karlo Nograles said the Philippines is one with the entire world in praying for an early and peaceful resolution to the conflict, which has so far claimed the lives of more than a hundred people, according to latest reports.

 

"We appeal for an immediate end to the unnecessary loss of life, and call on the states involved to forge an accord that can help prevent a conflagration that could engulf a world still struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic," Nograles said in a statement.
