The war Russia initiated against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, is the most broadscale in Europe since World War II. The moment Putin’s army invaded Ukraine, Europe has changed. Our global security, values, and future are in grave danger.
Ukraine has proved its alliance with the democratic world many times. For Ukrainians, safeguarding democracy is above everything else. Now Ukraine needs help of other democratic countries to defeat the dictator of enourmous-sized country that poses a threat to the whole world.
The people of Ukraine are in urgent need of our help – and the time to act is now. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, people are being forced to flee their homes. Families are being torn apart.
The people of Ukraine are incredibly grateful for the military and financial help provided by the world.

The Fourteenth edition of the annual Ecumenical Social Week will accommodate an international conference «Promoting the Common Good: Towards Sustainable Development of Society»that will reflect on sustainable development through the lenses of the notion of the common good, which is one of the central concepts of the Catholic social thought and known across different religious communities as well. Some of the questions that ESW would like to address: How can civil society, the state, business, the Church, religious organizations, mass media, and educators cooperate in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How are the SDGs interconnected, and how can improvements/problems in one field cause the progress/decline in others, pointing to the need for integral human development?
