On Friday, February 11, RAY MC GOVERN spoke with the Veterans For Peace Nuclear Abolition Working Group about the showdown between the US/NATO and Russia over Ukraine.
In response to the growing threat of a new war in Ukraine an international movement for peace and human rights is forming. In collaboration with European Alternatives and the Washington-based Foreign Policy in Focus we are pleased to host this international appeal to recover the spirit of the Helsinki Accords.
What’s going on in Ukraine? Why are Russian troops at the border? What’s it got to do with NATO? Peace movements across Europe are addressing these questions, engaging with peace activists in Ukraine and beyond to work for a sustainable peace.
If the U.S. government wants to play a constructive role in Ukraine, it should genuinely support this already existing framework for a solution to the crisis, and end the heavy-handed U.S. intervention that has only undermined and delayed its implementation.

As the United States escalates the conflict with Russia over Ukraine and NATO expansion, what do Ukrainians want?
Washington’s response to Russia’s December security proposals augurs well for an eventual peaceful denouement on Ukraine.
