Inclusion Europe organised a call with Raisa Kravchenko and Yulia Klepets form the VGO Coalition (All-Ukrainian NGO Coalition for Persons with Intellectual Disability, vgo.coalition@gmail.com). They shared with us and our members their plea for help and described the situation of families who are unable to leave Ukraine during the Russian attack.

12:50 – If Ukraine becomes in these days, the members of the European union, it means that, the aggressor knows very clearly, that there is no way to Soviet Union.
