Ukraine: one year after the conflict, the firm condemnation of the CNAPPC

A year ago, Russia invaded Ukraine, a free and sovereign state, and started a terrible war, made up of deaths, destruction, deportations, crimes against humanity perpetrated against the civilians. All our unqualified solidarity and sympathy goes to the Ukrainian people.

The National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscapers and Conservationists (CNAPPC) expresses its firmest condemnation against this wicked war that has broken out in the heart of Europe and which will not succeed in bending the spirit and resistance of that people or in undermining those values of freedom and democracy which have guaranteed more than seventy years of peace in the Old Continent.

Meanwhile, in order to promote peace initiatives , the workshops built by the “Design for Peace” project and dedicated to the reconstruction of symbolic areas devastated by the war, are going on and are the following:

  • Mykolayiv “Korabelnyi” Municipal Palace of Culture the Kharkiv National Pedagogical University named after G. Skovoroda;
  • Korosten Municipal Gymnasium; Kharkiv Vasyl Karazin National University;
  • National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”.
