World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder released the following statement on the situation in Ukraine:
“We are all very distressed by the conflict in Ukraine, which has already seen the loss of too many lives, and we fervently hope that a resolution of the situation can be reached very soon. Our thoughts are with all of those in the areas of conflict, or who are affected by it.
“We are heartened by the outpouring of support from Jewish communities around the world and particularly those in the countries bordering Ukraine which are offering assistance for Jews and others who are currently suffering the consequences of this conflict.
“We pray for a Shabbat Shalom – a peaceful sabbath and a sabbath of peace."
