Thank you Sebastien, It is indeed a sad day, not just for Europe and Europeans, but for everyone and everywhere. We thought as a human race we have learned and earned our way out of wars and destruction. Putin is taking us back to the dark age and it is our duty to break the silence and speak for peace from whatever platform we my have.

I am sad, very sad.

The day dawns on our region where a new war has begun.

Our region, our peoples do not deserve this.

I have always fought against war and for peace everywhere.

I will continue.

After the pandemic, our region and the world did not need such a situation.

I know this has no direct connection with the Internet and ICANN.

But as President of EURALO, I cannot remain silent.

I would like to send my support to all our friends in Ukraine.

I hope that we will remain united to continue to take part in the evolutions of the Internet and its governance.

Our friends in Russia are not responsible for the situation.

And it is not my role nor that of EURALO to look for responsibilities.

My support goes to all the ALSes in Europe and their members.

Stay safe each and everyone.

Take care my friends.

Je suis triste, très triste.

Le jour se lève sur notre région où une nouvelle guerre a commencé.

Notre région, nos peuples ne méritent pas cela.

J’ai toujours lutté contre la guerre et pour la paix partout.

Je vais continuer.

Après la pandémie, notre région et le monde n’avait pas besoin d’une telle situation.

Je sais que cela n’a pas de lien direct avec Internet et l’ICANN.

Mais comme président d’EURALO, je ne peux rester silencieux.

Je voudrais apporter mon soutien à tous nos amis d’Ukraine.

J’espère que nous resterons unis pour continuer à prendre part aux évolutions d’Internet et de sa gouvernance.

Nos amis de Russie ne sont pas responsables de la situation. Et ce n’est pas mon rôle ni celui d’EURALO de chercher des responsabilités.

Mon soutien va à toutes les ALS d’Europe et ses membres.

Restez en sécurité chacun et tous.

Amitiés.

All the best SeB
