The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) calls upon the international community to join the International Action “Stop Russia’s war against Ukraine!” on the 5th anniversary of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

The goal is to mobilize international support for Ukraine in the defence of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, the UWC’s press service reported.

“On the 5th anniversary of Russian aggression, I ask all peace-loving people to join the UWC International Action “Stop Russia’s war against Ukraine!”. We must actively support Ukraine, and honour the memory of the Heroes of Heavenly Hundred, all of the fallen defenders of Ukraine in this war and its peaceful residents,” UWC President Paul Grod stated.

The UWC calls on all Ukrainians and our supporters to organize events, including rallies, commemorative initiatives and social media campaigns with the goal of raising awareness and urging governments around the world to increase pressure on Russia and its supporters by increasing sanctions and excluding it from international forums for its ongoing violations; provide defence and security assistance to Ukraine, including defensive weapons and military support; launch a United Nations peacekeeping mission to the Russia-Ukraine border and an OSCE monitoring mission to Crimea; advocate for the release by the Russian Federation of all prisoners of war, hostages and political prisoners; and terminate the development of the Nord Stream 2 Russian gas pipeline which will threaten European unity and security.
