Statement by the Eastern Partnership Network on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

The Eastern Partnership Network strongly condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is a violation of international law, and of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. 

The Eastern Partnership Network expresses its solidarity with Ukrainian civil society and the entire population of Ukraine under severe attack.  

The Network 

• Demands that the Russian authorities immediately withdraw their troops from Ukraine. 
• Urges the international community to hold the Russian authorities accountable for the invasion of Ukraine.
