Sallux strongly condemns Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine today. Ukraine is an independent, sovereign, autonomous country and by invading it, Putin broke international law, former agreements and pacts. It is an attack on European security and stability and utterly reprehensible. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine will only bring misery and pain to the people in Ukraine and Russia. We stand with Ukraine and continue to pray for safety and peace. We pray for the people in Ukraine, especially thinking of our friends, organized in our member-organization the Foundation for Democracy Assistance. May God protect you and all those dear to you! We repeat our statement that Christians in the free world need to unite and stand with the people of Ukraine in the defense of freedom. The EU needs to do the same and as Sallux we urge the EU and its Member-States to uphold its principles consistently in and outside Europe. We join the international community and call on Russia to stop hostilities, withdraw immediately and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity!
