POSITION
Ceasefire

Yabloko has been conducting a sustained campaign for a ceasefire in the military actions between Russia and Ukraine ever since 24 February 2022. We have been leveraging every available platform and format to communicate to people why this is important. Both sides must cease fire simultaneously and without agreeing to any conditions precedent. All-encompassing justice today demands that we bring to an end the loss of lives of innocent people. Everything else can be decided subsequently.
