The invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops is a violation of the principle of non-use of force and of the obligation to settle international disputes by peaceful means, and we are deeply concerned that it will undermine the very foundations of the international order.

Our university is committed to education and research with the founding spirit of "PAX MUNDI PER LINGUAS" (World Peace through Languages). Force is not a true solution to problems. No peace can be won through war. We strongly hope that a peaceful resolution through dialogue and negotiation will be achieved as soon as possible to stop the further spread of damage.

This event is extremely distressing for our university, which has concluded exchange agreements with a number of excellent Russian universities, and it has been our pleasure to see students from both countries enjoying their studies together.　As this situation is feared to have a serious impact on students, faculty members, and their families who have close ties with Ukraine and Russia, we will continue to closely watch the developments of the situation and will take necessary measures to support those in need.
