Stop the War placard and local protect information

The invasion of Ukraine has led to hundreds of deaths and huge numbers of refugees fleeing the dangers of war. The war there must be stopped and Russian troops must withdraw.

Talk of a no fly zone – which will result in much greater military conflict – is only inflaming the situation. The war heralds the prospect of wider wars between major powers and states which have nuclear weapons. While the world’s rulers urge more money for weapons and war, it is the people of the different countries who suffer.

In Russia and around the world people are protesting for peace and a negotiated settlement to the war. We send them our solidarity and do so by following their lead and taking to our own streets to demand an end to this war.
