Background
JEF stands for peace, democracy and justice. The Russian war against Ukraine stands in direct violation of all these principles. JEF Europe and its national sections work tirelessly to support Ukraine, and advocate for Ukraine’s place within the European Union.
Since November 2025, JEF Ukraine is a full member section of our network.
More broadly, JEF advocates for a European future also for Moldova and Georgia. JEF’s actions against Russian aggression feed into the Democracy under Pressure campaign.
