As we mark the third anniversary of Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, we remember the immense suffering endured by the Ukrainian people. The aggression led to widespread death, suffering and massive destruction, the Ukrainian people continue their fight for freedom and democracy. The EESC stands with Ukraine’s civil society and reconstruction, committed to democracy. We reaffirm our unwavering solidarity with Ukraine and its democratic aspirations, including integration with the European Union.
