Philea stands in solidarity with Ukraine
From: https://philea.eu/.
We stand in solidarity with our members and all the people of Ukraine amidst the Russian government’s invasion into their lands. Our most heartfelt thoughts go to the families, friends and loved ones affected by this devastating situation.
We believe in a just and democratic world where we recognise that we are so much more similar than we are different.
We believe we are so much stronger together than apart.
As we join millions around the world watching the situation unfold, several of our members and affiliates are working on the ground in support of those affected by this crisis.
We stand with them in their efforts to support the full respect of international humanitarian law and protection of civilians and civil society. We will be updating this page with resources and information as we access them and invite you revisit this space in the coming days for more information.
