<br>
after the build-up of the last days and weeks, this morning we woke up <br>
to a terrible new situation. The Russian attack on Ukraine is a <br>
catastrophe, for the people and the country of Ukraine, and thus for <br>
Europe, and I believe also for Russia. This war will not only bring <br>
futile and awful destruction, but it will also change many things, not <br>
only in the Ukrainian territories now under attack.<br>
<br>
I'm writing to open up this space for debate. You may have other <br>
channels for such discussions elsewhere (... it has been more than <br>
twenty years ago that the Syndicate list, the precursor to Spectre, was <br>
an important channel for such discussions during the conflict in Kosovo <br>
and the NATO attacks on Serbia). But this list, with its legacy of <br>
reflecting the diversity and solidarity of artists and cultural <br>
practitioners in "Deep Europe" and beyond, is certainly available for <br>
exchange, analysis and coordination if required.<br>
<br>
If there are people here on the list who can report about the situation <br>
in Ukraine, they may want to inform their international colleagues about <br>
what forms of help and solidarity might be useful.<br>
<br>
And if there are people (especially in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.) <br>
who would like to write anonymously, please, feel free to write to me <br>
and I will anonymise and forward any reasonable messages.<br>
<br>
Andreas<br>
