The organizing committee of FDSL-15 condemns the aggression against Ukraine and stands in solidarity with all Ukrainians and all people speaking up against this illegitimate war. In particular, we express our support for colleagues and friends in Ukraine and for colleagues and friends whose liberty and safety is threatened because they are standing up against the war.
