Vulnerable

We have recently received reports of damage to the panorama of Sevastopol in Crimea. We are deeply saddened by these events. Our thoughts are with all the people, animals and cultural heritage sites around the world that are suffering as a result of war and violence – and in particular with our colleagues in Sevastopol. Peace does not begin in the realm of politics. It arises in everyday life – through empathy, respect and mutual support.
