Recording of Global Peace & Security After Ukraine on Sept 21st.
Posted: 22nd October 2022
Dear friends, It was so good to have 13 people in the room on Tuesday for our first in-person meeting for a while! We watched the first 40 minutes of the recording of a meeting in Edinburgh last month on “Global Peace & Security After Ukraine”. The discussion following was rich and productive. As the latest issue of Peace News makes clear, now is the time for the Peace Movement to be making loud and persistent calls for negotiations towards a peace settlement. On 30 September, Putin said: ‘We call on the Kiev regime to immediately cease fire and all hostilities; to end the war it unleashed back in 2014 and return to the negotiating table. We are ready for this, as we have said more than once.’
