The Association for Indigenous Studies of Russia stands in full solidarity with Ukraine and unequivocally condemns the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion. This war is a grave violation of international law and human dignity, and we reject the ongoing violence, displacement, and occupation it has caused.
As an organization committed to truth, justice, and the rights of Indigenous peoples, we affirm that none of Ukraine’s territories currently occupied by Russia are, or will ever be, recognized by our Association as part of the Russian Federation. These lands remain Ukraine’s, both in fact and in principle.
We stand with the people of Ukraine and all those resisting colonial violence and imperial erasure.
