The Association of National Universities, of which Yokohama National University is a member, has issued a statement on the situation in Ukraine.

　The recent escalation of the conflict casts a shadow over many areas. Yokohama National University calls for peace to be restored as soon as possible, as academic research and education can only be maintained and developed when there is peace.

　International students from the countries involved are studying at Yokohama National University. Faculty and staff will stay close to these students and provide support as appropriate. We ask for your understanding for the human rights of international students and respect for their privacy.

Sincerely,

President UMEHARA Izuru
