(Brussels, 4 March 2022) The European Milk Board calls for an immediate end to the war in Ukraine. We strongly condemn the attack against the territorial sovereignty and people of Ukraine. Farmers stand with all those, in all countries, who are suffering from this war.
 
We urge dairies in the EU to stop their exports to Russia and to send their products to Ukraine as emergency relief. Likewise, we urge the EU itself to make use of its position and stop exports to Russia.
 
How can we help? In addition to participating in demonstrations calling for an end to the war – held in various countries – donating medicine, food and essential goods is also possible. We encourage you to donate to credible organisations in your different countries. We thank you for your support!
