Our appeal is addressed to those Russian soldiers and officers who are on the territory of a neighbouring state and those who serve in the strategic nuclear forces, who, by direct order of Putin, were put on a particular combat duty regime.
We urge you to stop following the criminal orders of the Russian authorities and not to put the world at the threat of nuclear war. Not everyone in Russia understands what is happening in neighbouring Ukraine. But you, those who invaded the territory of a foreign state, managed to evaluate everything happening around you. You realize that you have attacked a neighbouring state. You understand that you are being forced to take the lives of not only Ukrainians but also Russians for the glory of a troubled older man who considers himself the ruler of the world.
It is likely that soon, you will be given the order to launch a nuclear strike on the cities of Ukraine. Think again. Don't get your hands dirty with the blood of thousands of innocent people. Putin unleashed the war not for the sake of Russia but for his own sake, for the sake of his luxurious palaces, for the sake of pride and sole power, and for the sake of his fictional world far from reality.
You can see that no single word in Putin's propaganda carries the truth. You know that you are not fighting against Bendera and neo-Nazis but against the Ukrainian people, who are defending their land and the right to exist of their nation in everything. For Ukraine, this war acquired the status of a Patriotic War. Not only Ukrainians are waging a desperate struggle with you, but also Russians, who, by the way, are very numerous in Ukraine.
For Putin, this war is already clearly lost. His plan never came to fruition. Ukrainians have become united like never before. The whole world supports Ukraine and condemns Putin. Now, he has resorted to the tactics of chaotic shelling of Ukrainian cities. Just a little more - and he will reach out with his hand to the red button in the nuclear suitcase.
If this war is not stopped shortly, a long-term label of shame will be attached to the word "Russian", and mutual hatred will flare up between Ukrainians and Russians for many generations.
Who is more courageous? Do not sit at home - participate in rallies. Those who have fear can resist the power of the word. If Putin is allowed to realize all his plans, then not only Ukraine but also Russia will cease to exist as a state.
