Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 23 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen said that the Russia-Ukraine war could be more catastrophic compared to COVID19 pandemic as the whole world is currently affected by the conflict.

The premier spoke in an inauguration ceremony of the official use of National Road No. 21 on Wednesday in Kandal province.

“War is not a joke. The lives of people in the world including Cambodians are affected by Russia-Ukraine war. The rising price of gasoline is unavoidable, for instance. The destruction of Russia-Ukraine war is more serious than the COVID19 pandemic; thus the war needs to end soon,” the premier said.

Samdech continued, "if the war is still on-going, we are not sure whether it leads to World War III or nuclear war. What we can do is to pray and call for ceasefire as well as peace negotiations in order to end the war."
