The case for peace

AS RUSSIA’S war of aggression in Ukraine takes more lives, destroys more homes and wreaks more misery, it is imperative that we urge all governments, leaders and international organisations to prioritise peace. 

This Monday, we mourned the loss of more civilians when Russian kamikaze drones hit Kyiv and Mykolaiv. The attack had given Ukrainians just a week of “respite” — 19 people in Kyiv were killed by a Russian missile the Monday before. A children’s playground was among the rubble. 

As yet more civilians, soldiers and conscripts are condemned to death, the United Nations is sitting on its hands.
