I feel this deserves its own thread if people want to organize something in DC...
From the BBC - Zelensky calls for global rally on 24 March Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has been delivering nightly video addresses since the start of the war, has called on people around the world to publicly protest on Thursday - the one month anniversary of Russia's invasion. "The war of Russia is not only the war against Ukraine. Its meaning is much wider," Zelensky says, for the first time delivering his address in English. "Russia started the war against freedom," he continues, adding: "This is only the beginning for Russia." "Russia is trying to defeat the freedom of all people in Europe. Of all the people in the world." "It tried to show that only crude and cruel force matters," he continues. He adds: "The world must stop Russia. The world must stop the war." "One month already. That long. It breaks my heart, the hearts of all Ukrainians and every free person on the planet." He goes on to call for street demonstrations and for protesters to march while wearing Ukrainian symbols. "Come to your squares, your streets. Make yourself visible and heard," he says. "Say that people matter, freedom matters, people matter, peace matters. Ukraine matters. |
| Thank you for starting this thread! |
| Is there a time to protest in from if the Indian embassy for their support if the Russians? |
| Thank you! I'll be checking in my area. |
And what will this accomplish exactly? This won't even be televised for the Russians to see by their censored TV stations and all media outlets. |
VPNs are prevalent in Russia. The Russian embassies will be reporting back to Moscow. Ukrainians will be watching. |
And? |
Signal to Russia that the world still cares Signal to Ukraine that the world still cares Signal to our governments that we still care Signal to India and China that the world still cares Signal to the Russian people that this isn't going to just blow over. |
The delusions |
And? Will this end the war? |
You should get that checked out. Slava Ukraini |
I think you should type it 100 more times, or try 1000.. Maybe it will help stop this war? |
I don't know and neither do you. There's usually not one thing that stops something. It's usually an accumulation of small things. Many Russians still think this will all just blow over soon. Many other Russians are resigning in protest. Moreover the purges have started. Most importantly though, it's to show Ukrainians that we still care. Nihilism isnt a good look for a grown up. |
Cleanse or be cleansed. Good luck surviving the purges. Hope you don't denounce or get denounced by someone you care about. |
If you don't think public pressure on government leaders hasn't had an impact, you're wrong. |
