Cambridge #StandwithUkraine, Days 3 and 4!
Two days ago, around 5.00 AM Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine. In the light of today's invasion, we are planning to meet and support other Ukrainians at Cambridge today. We would appreciate all the concerned students and residents to join us today (Saturday, 26 February) and tomorrow (Sunday, 27 February) at 14:00 at King's Parade in Cambridge. These are a peaceful meetings to support each other and stand together.
We, members and friends of the global academic community, stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine against Russian military aggression and imperialism.
We denounce the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian state and the annexation of Crimea that continues since 2014. We condemn the recent decisions of the Russian Federation government to further violate Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty and to attack Ukrainian cities. We demand the urgent withdrawal of Russia's troops from the Ukrainian borders and territories, and an end to Russian interference in Ukraine. We call onto states around the world to support Ukraine with actions, and not just words!
We condemn the cyberattacks, information war and fake news campaigns created and promoted by the Russian state and media. We will do everything in our power to share truthful information about Ukraine and to transform universities around the world into the spaces of full and unwavering solidarity with Ukraine and its people. We must build a new strong movement to stand with Ukraine now, and to prevent the further international crisis!
