Canadian Defence Lawyers stands with people and organizations around the world, condemning the Russian incursion into Ukraine. The attempt to overthrow the democratically-elected Ukrainian government is a breach of international law, as is Russia’s effort to annex Ukraine or parts of it. We hope this volatile situation can soon be defused and that the Ukrainian people remain free to determine their own future. We encourage our CDL family to support organizations that are on the ground, helping the Ukrainian people. If you would like to donate to organizations providing aid, here are some options:

Canadian Red Cross

UNHCR

Canada-Ukraine Foundation
