We, Ukrainian Advocates' Association (hereinafter – UAA), all-Ukrainian non-governmental organization that unites attorneys-at-law in Ukraine, are addressing to our colleagues all over the world to support our country that is now under military attack from Russia.
We are writing this letter from the capital, the city of Kyiv, that has been under missile attack of already for the third day in a row.
We thank our allies for the support! But, unfortunately, it is not enough to stop Russian aggression over Ukraine.
After invading our country, Russians are bombing our cities and deliberately civilians. According to the data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, as of this morning 198 civilians died, including 3 children; 1115 wounded, including 33 children in result of Russia attack. Its is unbelievable that things like this are happening in the XXI century in the middle of Europe!
We rely on our brave Army and our people, but in this very moment the support of international community is a matter of survival for us!
Who but the legal community should stand for the rule of law and human rights protection?
