Letter on Ukraine from Latin America to the World

By the undersigned, February 26, 2024
Ukraine/Russia – Letter for Peace: Let the guns be silent

As the war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation marks 2 years, we want to remind the world of the thousands of Ukrainian and Russian that continue to die in this conflict. For this reason, the people and organizations that sign this letter raise our voices to return peace to these two brother peoples.

1 – We call on the parties in conflict to enact an immediate ceasefire and cease hostilities between both sides. We urge you to return to the dialogue table, seek mutually beneficial agreements, and achieve sustainable peace.

2 – We call on the United States, NATO countries, and all countries in the world to stop supplying weapons to countries that are at war. We urge the United States and the European Union to change their warlike stance and, in return, promote and facilitate dialogue and peace negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

3 – We call for an end to the shipment and use of prohibited weapons, supplied by the US and NATO countries, in the conflict in Ukraine. The use of cluster bombs and depleted uranium munitions has dire long-term consequences for civilians and the environment.

4 – We call on the United Nations Organization, its member countries, international organizations, the international community, not to give up and instead, to redouble their efforts, until the war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation war ends and peaceful and negotiated solutions are achieved.

Let the weapons be silent, let peace return!!
