russians protesting against the russian invasion of Ukraine
- No to War Novaya leads a coalition of 25 independent media outlets, “Syndicate 100”. We penned a joint statement calling for an end to this barbaric war:
Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin started a war with Ukraine. Pain, anger and shame are three words that reflect our attitude to what is happening. This invasion will bring grief to the families of thousands of people in Ukraine and Russia. This is a large-scale war in which other states will also be involved. Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the world has never been so close to a global catastrophe.
We, as independent Russian journalists, declare that we are against the massacre initiated by the Russian leadership.
We promise that we will be honest about what is happening while we have this opportunity. We wish resilience and strength to the people of Ukraine who are resisting aggression, and to all in Russia who are now trying to resist this militaristic madness.
We also appeal to those who are trying to rationalise the motivations for the war, justifying its start by the need to protect themselves from NATO and “Ukrainian Nazism”. War is no longer just an argument on television and in kitchens. It has been made flesh. There are tanks in Kharkiv. And in a real war, people always die. We hope that death will not come to your house. But, of this, there can be no certainty.
No to war.
