There can be no justification for the attacks on civilians being carried out in Ukraine. The war is escalating dangerously following the attack on the Kerch Bridge in Crimea.
It is a matter of urgency that Western powers, including Britain, push for a ceasefire in this war before it spirals further out of control. The risk of nuclear war is increasing with every passing day as attacks continue.
Ukraine has become the battleground for a proxy war between Russia and the West. For the sake of all Ukrainians and working people across the globe this war must be brought to an end as soon as possible.
Stop the War Convenor, Lindsey German, said:
“There are no winners in this situation. Stop the War has called for a ceasefire and peace negotiations from the start because we feared precisely this danger. We urgently need this war to stop before it spirals even further.
We are especially concerned about the potential of this turning into a nuclear conflict, with horrific consequences for the whole region. The British government should be urging peace not war.”
