現在對於烏克蘭及全世界人民而言，是一個慘痛而令人悲傷的時刻。

在扶輪，我們對烏克蘭不斷惡化的局勢、不斷升高的生命損失以及對當地人道的困境深感關切。持續對烏克蘭採取的軍事行動不僅會破壞該區域，而且有可能將此悲劇性的後果波及全歐洲及全世界。

作為世界上最大的人道組織之一，我們把和平定為我們全球使命的基石。我們謹與國際社會共同呼籲「立即停火」、俄羅斯軍隊撤出、並恢復外交的努力，透過對話來解決此一衝突。

在過去十年中，烏克蘭、俄羅斯與周邊國家的扶輪社超越了國家的差異，積極參與種種建設和平的專案計畫，以促進親善並為戰爭與暴力受害者提供援助。今天，我們關懷掛念正在烏克蘭應付這些悲慘事件的扶輪社員及其他人士。國際扶輪將盡其所能，為此一區域帶來援助、支持與和平。

Rotary International statement on Ukraine conflict

It is a tragic and sad time for the people of Ukraine and the world.

At Rotary, we are deeply concerned by the deteriorating situation in Ukraine and the escalating loss of life and humanitarian hardship there. Continued military action against Ukraine will not only devastate the region, but also risk spreading tragic consequences across Europe and the world.

As one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations, we have made peace the cornerstone of our global mission. We join the international community in calling for an immediate cease fire, withdrawal of Russian forces, and a restoration of 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. Today, our thoughts are with our fellow Rotary members and others in Ukraine coping with these tragic events. Rotary International will do everything in its power to bring aid, support and peace to the region.
