UNI Global Union backs calls for peace in Ukraine and supports the statement below released by the ITUC and ETUC:<\/em><\/p>\r\n

The ITUC and the ETUC call for an immediate end to hostilities and conflict in eastern Ukraine and for good-faith negotiations to resolve the crisis in the interests of the people.<\/p>\r\n

UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres has described the decision by the Russian presidency to give recognition to two separatist regions as inconsistent with the UN Charter and a violation of territorial integrity.<\/p>\r\n

He has called for peaceful settlement of the conflict in eastern Ukraine in accordance with the\u00a0Minsk agreements<\/a>, endorsed by\u00a0the UN Security Council<\/a>\u00a0in resolution 2202 adopted in 2015. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has also issued a condemnation.<\/p>\r\n

ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow said: \u201cMany lives have been lost and people have been suffering for seven years due to the failure to implement the Minsk agreements.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cHundreds more ceasefire violations have taken place in recent weeks as the dispute has been artificially fueled. Instead of building bridges for peace, huge amounts have been spent on armaments and the military, and aggressive rhetoric has caused further instability.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe ongoing conflict has had dramatic consequences for the economies of both Russia and Ukraine as well as elsewhere in Europe. The risk of escalating conflict, with devastating consequences, is real and will continue to be so until there is serious dialogue that deals with the root causes of the dispute.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Common security<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Luca Visentini, general secretary of the ETUC and the ITUC Pan-European Regional Council (PERC), said: \u201cThe presidents of the European Commission and the European Council, and the high representative of the EU, have made strong statements in support of Ukraine\u2019s territorial integrity and the Minsk agreements, similar to the statement of the UN secretary-general.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cAll political leaders must have the courage to avoid war, seek compromise and respect agreements, and the wisdom to build sustainable economies that work for people and provide the essential basis for common security.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe collapse of common security measures, such as the INF Treaty and the Treaty on Open Skies, which provided channels for verification and dialogue, is linked to an overall weakening of the provisions of the Helsinki Accords, which have helped ensure peace for nearly 50 years.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThere is now a real prospect that this vital framework will completely unravel and that militarisation in Europe, which has already been underway, will escalate.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWe call for urgent steps to bring together all the relevant political leaders to build a common security framework just as was initiated in Helsinki. The world needs a new social contract, not more conflict. We need investment in people and jobs, in peace and stability.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
