Dear Members of the EMS,

In the face of the terrible events taking place in Ukraine, we believe that as members of our society we cannot remain passive. The EMS stands by the people of Ukraine, as well as Russian nationals who condemn the actions of Putin and his government. We understand the actions of the Russian government do not represent the ideas of a large part of the Russian population, and we commend the courage of those nationals who have protested against such iniquity. We would like to advise every member of EMS to keep informed about any consequences imposed by the national societies and governments in this case.

José M. Valpuesta

President EMS
