“We also want to call attention to the patriotic and ultranationalist proposals that often hide the personal and lucrative interests of the powerful, whose children will never be sent to die in war, whose jobs will never be destroyed, whose interests are disguised as love of the and grandiloquent and fiery speeches that disguise their desire for profit and power”, adds the MTCE, which demands “the immediate cessation of hostilities and the practice of dialogue and negotiationand that the entire international community should be involved in building the desired peace”.
For the European Christian Labor Movement, the resources that are being dedicated to maintaining the conflict in Ukraine should be channeled for the “reconstruction of all degraded areas and the promotion of decent work”.

According to the MTCE, the message of Peace that Jesus addresses to his disciples after the Resurrection – “Peace be with you!” – is addressed “to all countries where there are armed conflicts, of greater or lesser intensity, and especially to the peoples of Ukraine and Russia”.
It is, for the European Christian Labor Movement, “a message addressed to the peoples and the leaders of the peoples, to the politicians and the military leaders. A message addressed to the weakest of all the peoples where there are armed conflicts. A message to so many mothers, to so many wives, to so many little children, who see that their children, their husbands, or their fathers, They don’t come back because they died on the battlefield.“.
