Call for anti-war actions on the second anniversary of the Russian attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2024

Wethen, 10 February 2024

Church and Peace, as part of a civil society alliance, is calling for anti-war actions on the second anniversary of the Russian attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2024.

The call states: “War is a crime against humanity. We condemn Russia’s attack on the whole of Ukraine, which has now been going on for two years in violation of international law. Since 24 February 2022, the war has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries as well as millions of refugees – every day that the war goes on leads to even more suffering.”

“So far, neither military offensives nor arms deliveries or sanctions have been able to open a window of opportunity for ceasefire talks. It is the responsibility of the international community to influence the warring parties and push for a negotiated solution. The call for negotiations is also supported by the resolutions of the UN General Assembly.”

Local anti-war actions are intended to send a clear message in favour of breaking the spiral of violence, a ceasefire and peace negotiations.
