In the meantime, Vice-President Tonina participated in the event that took place (26/2/2022) in Trento for peace in Ukraine, organized by the Trentino Forum for Peace and Human Rights. 
"Solidarity and closeness - said Tonina - to the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian community in Trentino. In such a difficult moment we want to condemn this war that Russia wanted to unleash: we hope that dialogue and mediation can still prevail, an important work has been done but it did not bring the expected results. The Autonomous Province of Trento will do its part through reception and - humanitarian corridors - by responding to those who in this moment are suffering and in difficulty".
