Statement on the situation in Ukraine
It is with great sadness and concern that we see a war unfolding in Ukraine. As with our sister society EAN, ECNP remains an apolitical, neutral organisation representing neuroscience and healthcare professionals across Europe, including both Ukraine and Russia. We abhor the use of violence or war and see no place for either in settling disputes of any kind. We hope and plead for a rapid and peaceful resolution to this conflict, so that as many lives as possible may be spared.
We call for all agencies and organisations providing humanitarian aid in the region to receive the support and resources they need to respond to the crisis, and that they are not obstructed or prevented from providing humanitarian or medical assistance to those in need.
On behalf of ECNP, we ask you to consider contributing to organisations which are setting up relief efforts to help civilian casualties and refugees in the region.
We suggest supporting the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross).
