The Department of Scandinavian Studies denounces the Russian invasion of Ukraine along with the University of Washington and our colleagues in the Department of Slavic Studies and the UW Ellison Center for Russian, East European, and Central Asian Studies, as well as others around the world. We stand in solidarity with all those affected. We call for the immediate withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukraine.
Our statement echoes the statements of our colleagues in the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies and the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies.
We urge you to donate to support efforts to provide relief to the tens of millions of people affected.
