Ukraine statement
April 2025

The EFC stands in support of all Ukrainians affected by the unjustified assault on their nation and wishes to express our deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones. The unprovoked attack on Ukraine is a fundamental breach of the democratic values upon which the EFC is built. Consequently, we will maintain the suspension of all partnerships with organizations connected to the authorities of the Russian Federation while the conflict continues. We support any reasonable efforts aimed at achieving lasting and sustainable peace, in line with the international law. Moreover, we emphasize the importance of upholding human rights during conflicts and acknowledge the vital role of humanitarian aid in alleviating suffering.
