我們對俄羅斯與烏克蘭之間不斷升級的緊張局勢以及迫在眉睫的武裝衝突前景感到嚴重關切。由於全世界仍在全球新冠病毒的大流行中掙扎，歐洲的戰爭無論如何都將為該區域帶來悲劇性後果，並將對平民及整個人類產生毀滅性的影響。

作為世界上最大的人道組織之一，我們早已把和平作為我們全球使命的基石。戰爭不是解決國家與人民之間爭端的好選擇。我們與國際社會一同呼籲緩和局勢，並強烈支持各種緊急而有力的外交努力，透過對話解決此一衝突。

在過去十年裡，烏克蘭、俄羅斯及周邊國家的扶輪社超越了國家的差異，積極參與締造和平的專案計畫，以促進善意並為戰爭及暴力受害者提供援助。我們將繼續這些努力，並以最大的決心，努力為和平解決這場危機作出貢獻。

Statement from Rotary International

We are gravely concerned by the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and by the imminent prospect of an armed conflict. As the world is still reeling from the global pandemic, a war in Europe, by all accounts, would lead to tragic consequences for the region and would have a devastating impact on civilian populations and on humanity as a whole.

As one of the world's largest humanitarian organizations, we have made peace the cornerstone of our global mission. War is not a good option for resolving disputes among nations and peoples. We join the international community in calling for de-escalation and strongly support urgent and robust diplomatic efforts to resolve this conflict through dialogue.

In the past decade, Rotary clubs in Ukraine, Russia, and nearby countries have transcended national differences and have actively engaged in peace building projects to promote goodwill and to marshal assistance for the victims of war and violence. We will continue these efforts and, with our utmost resolve, we will endeavor to contribute to a peaceful solution to this crisis.
