The War in Ukraine - Our Message of Support

The NLC European Forum and Commonwealth Forum strongly condemn the the Russian military attack against Ukraine, which constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the recognition of the so-called ‘people’s republics’ of Donetsk and Luhansk by the Russian Federation also in clear violation of international law and the Minsk agreements. 

Which follows on from the Russian illegal invasion and occupation of the Crimea in  2014.  

We support the international community in calling upon President Putin and the Russian Federation to withdraw its troops back into Russia and we call on the Russian Federation to reverse the decision to recognise  the so-called ‘people’s republics’ of Donetsk and Luhansk and to comply with its obligations under international law. 

We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian government and people, sending our support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders.

If you would like to help, please consider donating to UNICEF or the Red Cross, who have mobilised relief and aid efforts in Ukraine.

Please contact Emily Robinson should you have any questions or need further information.
