Dear OISTAT friends,

We are all very shaken by the current conflict in the world. The escalation of the Russia-Ukraine crisis turned into war and its consequences concern us all.
Several conversations are ongoing within the OISTAT community and we have an EC OISTAT meeting scheduled soon to discuss how to approach it as a community and to issue an official statement.
In the meantime, we have been in contact with colleagues from the countries in conflict and their neighbors, as well as collecting the diverse opinions and manifestations of the OISTAT members.

Please feel welcome to share your thoughts by email to me directly with copy to HQ if you wish to do it.

Sincerely,

Aby Cohen
