The Ukrainian crises INFO BOARD - EPF Statement on the war in Ukraine - Links to humanitarian aid

Dear colleagues,

today I want to inform you that the Executive has published a statement on the war in Ukraine and an Ukrainian crisis INFO BOARD where you can find information and can add any information that seems relevant to you. You will find also several links to humanitarian aid.

If you go our website, you will find this page immediately. Nevertheless, I copy this page for your information, see below.

If you want, you can cite the EPF Statement also on your websites or your other informations.

These are deeply dark times, especially for our Aleksandra, our Ukrainian colleagues and their families and friends, but of course for all Ukrainian citizens who have to live now under fire or who have become refugees.

Let us hope that this humanitarian catastrophe and this rupture of civilization will come to an end soon, despite all the bad prospects.

Heribert Blass

EPF Statement on the war in Ukraine

The EPF Executive is deeply shocked and concerned about the outbreak of war in Ukraine, a free country in the middle of Europe. We are concerned for the lives and physical and mental health of all the people affected in this humanitarian catastrophe, and we hope for an immediate end to the war and the establishment of peace.

On behalf of the EPF Executive

Dr Heribert Blass EPF President
