Solidarity with Ukraine
The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
We condemn the unjustifiable attack on Ukraine and call for an immediate withdrawal of Russian forces and for an immediate ceasefire.
We urge the UK Government and devolved administrations to offer whatever humanitarian aid is possible to prevent catastrophe in the region.
