Three years ago, PIASA’s Board of Directors condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and declared its strong support for the right of Ukrainians to determine their own fate. Today’s political climate has changed, but the fact that Russia’s attack on Ukraine was unprovoked and its occupation of Ukrainian territories is a violation of international norms and agreements has not. We therefore reaffirm our solidarity with the Ukrainian people who continue to endure immense suffering and hardship in defense of their homeland. Any future negotiations to end the fighting must include Ukrainian representatives as equal partners to insure that “peace” is not purchased at the price of Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and security.
