It is time to write something against this war and also explain again the
various reasons why FOSS software cannot be blocked for a country

FOSS is giving freedom in Russia where there are more restrictions by the government and how
many FOSS ukraine contributors are impacted about this "special invasion"

Indeed FSFE is not political but it is a foundation that involve europeans and
this war involve all of us for various and different reasons.

Hello,
I have to raise your attention to the fact that since February, 23 we have a
war in Europe.
Latest press releases from FSFE are:
- 2022-03-16 KDE's Okular becomes the world's first eco-certified computer
program
- 2022-03-15 Germany: 100 days of coalition agreement - hardly one day for Free
Software
- 2022-03-10 "I Love Free Software Day": Free Software games and a SharePic
generator
I understand that these news might be important. But it looks really strange to
not say a word from FSFE (Free Software Foundation _Europe_) about the war in
Europe.
Yes, FSFE is not a polictical organisation. But what happens now is beyond any
politics. This is a full-scale war which happens now and here, in Europe.
I feel that FSFE MUST issue an official statement about the war and actions of
Russia.
I do not know how free software activists and organizations can contribute to
the peace in a more meaningful way than by issuing statements.
But I believe that the statement shall be made as a bare minimum and it shall
be crystal clear.
Silence is not an option.
