Caritas Diocese of Salford strongly condemns the large-scale military intervention in Ukraine and brutal aggression towards its people. We deplore the consistent attacks on civilian lives and civilian infrastructure witnessed over the past days. Such acts of aggression endanger international stability and peace and bring international law into disrepute.

We continue to follow the crisis and humanitarian situation in Ukraine and the surrounding countries receiving refugees and those displaced.  At Caritas Salford, we are receiving regular updates from Caritas Internationalis and in particular from Caritas Ukraine, Poland, Moldova and Bulgaria and are being asked advice from parishes and schools in our own diocese on how to donate to support those in crisis.
