Resolution of the ETF Executive Committee on Ukraine

News

At our Executive Committee (EC) meeting in Prague on 29-31 March 2022, we have adopted a resolution reiterating our strong call for peace in Ukraine.

We stand firmly against war in Ukraine and all conflict. Asking for peace is also our way to publicly reiterate we stand by the values we claim to defend: freedom, equality, solidarity and democracy.

This Committee has also established a dedicated ETF Ukraine Solidarity Fund that will finance all ETF assistance to our Ukrainian members, transport workers and their families.
