80 years after the war: Welthungerhilfe calls for solidarity with Ukraine

Welthungerhilfe warns new government to solidarity with Ukraine

Bonn - On the occasion of the upcoming 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Welthungerhilfe has addressed the new federal government to actively work for Ukraine while it is in conflict with Russia.

The President of Welthungerhilfe, Marlehn Thieme, emphasized the importance of May 8, 1945 as a day of liberation, which should serve both as a warning and as an incentive. She pointed out that we are currently experiencing the highest number of conflicts since the Second World War and increasing the global hunger crisis.

thieme said that it was crucial to support people who suffer from the effects of violence and displacement. Especially in Ukraine, people are dependent on international solidarity, while after 80 years of peace they fight for their survival.

In addition, Thieme emphasized Germany's responsibility, which not only results from the economic strength, but also from historical experience with war and peace. She emphasized the need to actively shape solidarity with the victims of war and the starving of the world and to consider it as a duty.

In the global discussion about auxiliary measures and humanitarian support, the question arises as to how effective and sustainably this solidarity can be implemented. In view of the growing number of conflicts worldwide, it remains essential that political decision -makers work together and take concrete steps to support the needy.
