WorldSkills statement on Ukraine

WorldSkills condemns the large scale aggression by Russia against Ukraine. We hope for immediate peace and call upon all countries to ensure the security of all those fleeing Ukraine, including students and workers from abroad.

The action in Ukraine is aimed to destabilize the education, livelihoods, and culture of a sovereign state. The WorldSkills mission is to raise the profile and recognition of skilled people, and show how important skills are in achieving economic growth and personal success. Education, skill development, and economic prosperity cannot be achieved without peace. Further details will be released in the coming days.
