There were different views on the situation in Ukraine, but all the participants, without exception, were trying to find a way to dialogue and understanding.

We support the humanitarian efforts aimed at alleviating the suffering of Donbas’s citizens. We call on each of the parties of the conflict to avoid actions violating human dignity.
