Support of Youth of Ukraine and for the Implementation of the “Youth Peace and Security” Agenda in Europe
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused a massive and multidimensional crisis, impacting human rights, the humanitarian situation, and mass displacement, for which it can be marked as one of the worst of its kind in recent European history.
Standing in solidarity with the young people of Ukraine and considering the crucial importance of implementation of “Youth, Peace and Security” Agenda, the European Youth Forum and its member
organisations outline in this urgent resolution the measures that must
be taken by European institutions and the international community to
support Ukraine and its people.
