Dear colleagues and friends,

Today everyone is aware of the terrible situation in Ukraine due to the Russian aggression. The war initiated by Russian occupants demonstrates an extraordinary violation of the essential principles of humanity, fairness and morality.

Russians attack not only military objects as they claim. Occupants blow up houses, hospitals, kindergartens, infrastructure for supporting basic communal needs, kill civilians including kids, violating the basic principles of humanity and dignity. Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Chernigiv, Kyiv are suffering from regular bombing, destruction and death of civilians. However, explosions and bombing can inflict pain and destruction but can provoke neither panic nor fear.

Ukrainians do their best fighting against russian occupants to protect their country, their loved ones and children. Men and women join the territorial defense, others assist in treating the wounded, donate blood, shelter refugees and do everything they can and even more. Many people found asylum at metro stations or cellars to protect their children and elderly people.

We hope for solidarity among all professional organizations and societies and believe that our united efforts will facilitate a ceasefire and peace.

Glory to Ukraine!
