I am writing to demand—clearly and unequivocally—that you speak out with full force against Russia’s ongoing war of aggression in Ukraine. This war did not emerge from ambiguity or mutual escalation. It began because Russia invaded a sovereign nation, in direct violation of international law, and has continued waging an imperialist campaign that has devastated millions of innocent civilians. The facts are not in dispute. International organizations, independent investigators, and human rights monitors have documented deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure, mass displacement, unlawful detentions, and other acts that may constitute war crimes under international statutes. Ukraine did not provoke this. Ukraine did not initiate hostilities. Russia is the aggressor—full stop. At a time when democracy, sovereignty, and global stability hang in the balance, silence is complicity. Evasion is cowardice. Our leaders must not hedge, hesitate, or “both-sides” a war that has one clear perpetrator and one nation fighting for its survival. I am calling on you to: • Publicly and forcefully condemn Russia’s continued assault on Ukraine. • Reject any narrative that grants legitimacy to Russia’s invasion or its territorial claims. • Affirm that Ukraine, as the victim of aggression, deserves consistent, unwavering support. • Demand that Russia retreat immediately, end its campaign of destruction, and face accountability for violations of international law. Russia must not be rewarded for its brutality. They get nothing—not one inch of stolen land, not one concession carved out of violence. The world needs moral clarity, and it starts with the leaders elected to represent us. Stand up. Speak out. Call Russia’s aggression what it is, and demand that it end now.
