Assembly of European Regions

Connecting regions, inspiring Europe since 1985

You are here: Home / AER stands with Ukraine

AER stands with Ukraine

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine tears innocent lives, violates international law and shatters global security. In the wake of this merciless brutality, the AER stands with Ukraine and its Ukrainian members.

The future is (more) Europe and Ukraine is part of it.

With its brutal and unjustified aggression, Russia placed itself out the international society and refused to be part of of the common future that AER is committed to build. For this reason, AER suspended any type of cooperation with Russian authorities. Read here our statement from February 2022.

Every bridge, square, and street of 🇺🇦 regions & cities holds memories of resistance and hope. #AER is part of the #UkraineAlliance & urges #EU,🇪🇺 Member States, and donors to engage with🇺🇦 regions & cities for #UkraineRecovery.

Since its inception in 1985, the Assembly of European Regions strived to bolster cooperation between regions and make it an influential component of the European integration process. Interregional cooperation brought more and more regional communities together, bridging differences and building a shared path to a common future. The future is Europe and Ukraine is part of it.

AER works for its Ukrainian members
