Dear friends and colleagues,
|
we as agri benchmark coordinators are shocked by the Russian aggression against Ukraine, which is completely against international law and all humanitarian principles. Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends Andriy, Peter and Kostya and their relatives in and from the Ukraine, the Ukrainian people and those who fight against the invaders. Even though the Ukrainian people are the main victims of this attack we need to keep in mind that Mr. Putin is fighting against freedom and democracy in general.
|
We are and will remain a non-political network, however in this very dire situation basic humanitarian and democratic principles are violated badly. Therefore, we herewith initiate a solidarity action for the Ukrainian people.
|
Together with our Ukrainian colleagues Andriy and Kostya we kindly ask you to make a donation to support Ukraine in this very tough situation. Below you’ll find three possible ways to help. Of course, if you prefer other charities we greatly appreciate it as well. To get started, we will donate 5,000 €.
