10 recommendations for a European response to the Ukraine invasion
March 2022
We are at a critical juncture for the future of the European Union and democracy globally. The Russian war of aggression shows that authoritarian rule is a global security problem for states, businesses and people everywhere. Democracy support needs to be a European strategic priority.
Our members have been tirelessly working to support staff or partners in Ukraine and do what they can to support critical democratic actors – like media, civil society, human rights defenders and local government – both in Ukraine and in Belarus and Russia. On this page, you can see all the activities of our members on Ukraine. As EPD, we are coordinating among members and with various networks, and have also just released this letter urging the Commission not to compromise on the rule of law and democracy at home, with regards to the recovery funds to Poland and Hungary.
