Dear UConn Nation,

The world is watching in horror as war tears through Ukraine, innocent lives are lost, and beautiful cities are destroyed.

We are in awe of the bravery of the Ukrainian people. They are an inspiration to the world as they fight for democracy.

For members of our university community who are Russian, we know you bear no responsibility for the actions of the Russian government, and we will support our students and colleagues.

UConn stands with Ukraine and our Ukrainian students, faculty, and staff.

Sincerely,

Radenka
