To all Friends:
Moscow Monthly Meeting of Friends asks you, dear Friends, to pray and work with us for peace in Ukraine. We propose the following principles to guide our prayers and our advocacy:
- For government based on compassion instead of coercion, free from international interference.
- For reconciliation among all the people of Ukraine regardless of ethnicity.
- For all the different ethnic groups of Ukraine to be able to express their hopes and expectations freely.
- For all controversies to be resolved without violence.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful statement of care. I will join in holding all concerned in the Light.
You, Dear Friends, are close to our hearts. This is a time of agony and anxiety and uncertainty. Some of us may have thought the Cold War was over, but these complex hostilities are never far from us. All the more reason for people of Peace and Compassion, followers of the Master from Nazareth, to be present and strong and centered, setting an example for a world that seems to have gone mad.
Dear Friends, I am with you in my heart, in my thoughts and in my prayers!
Thank you for sending out to Friends your concerns and request for prayers. An excerpt from Margaret Fell's "Letter to the King on Persecution" comes to my mind: "We are a people, that follow after those things that make for peace, love and unity. It is our desire that other's feet may walk in the same. We do deny and bear our testimony against all strife and wars and contention." With you here in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the Spirit of Love….,

Thank you, Friends. Большое вам спасибо. I will join in holding all of you in the Light for this wise and perceptive minute.
Dear Moscow Friends,
I've just seen your compassionate post via Canadian Yearly Meeting. I was following the news, about Kiev and the Ukraine, and this morning we heard some disturbing news. I am holding those in the Ukraine in my thoughts as the situation comes to some kind of resolve soon. I hold dear the children and Elders of those communities at risk for military violence.
Peace Be Ours,
