The Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) has called on Russia and Ukraine to prioritize peace and dialogue in their ongoing conflict.

The institute’s appeal comes amid escalating tensions and violence between the two nations, which have resulted in significant human suffering and destabilization in the region.

IPCR, while expressing concern on Monday in a statement signed by its Director General, Dr. Joseph Ochogwu, noted that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has far-reaching consequences, impacting not only the two nations but also the broader international community.

The IPCR emphasized that a peaceful resolution to the conflict is essential to prevent further humanitarian crises and promote stability in the region.

It urged both parties to engage in meaningful dialogue, focusing on finding mutually acceptable solutions to their differences, adding that the conflict’s complexities require a nuanced approach, taking into account the concerns and interests of all parties involved.

It however encouraged the international community to support peace efforts, promoting a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

It insisted that: “Diplomatic initiatives and economic incentives can play a crucial role in encouraging both parties to engage in dialogue and work towards a mutually beneficial solution.”

The IPCR noted that the humanitarian situation in Ukraine remains dire, with many civilians affected by the conflict, and called for unhindered access to humanitarian assistance, ensuring that those in need receive the support they require.
