For almost two years, the horror of the war in Ukraine has struck us daily, all from the comfort of our homes. Many of us painfully feel our individual helplessness and even that of the communities to which we belong, despite all the support offered to date to Ukrainians and their government.

The war in Ukraine hurts our humanity. Its consequences on international stability and our individual and collective well-being are enormous and long-lasting. International cooperation is profoundly disrupted. No field is exempt: the arts, sports, sciences, finance, commerce, tourism.
The continuation of the war in Ukraine requires Western countries to remobilize and step up their aid.
