PEACE campaigners are today urging Welsh Labour to support calls for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine.

Stop the War (STW) Cymru will leaflet delegates to the Welsh Labour conference in Llandudno urging the party to support its call for peace.

STW Cymru convener Dominic Macaskill said: “We hope to put peace back on Labour’s agenda along with the need to pressurise the Westminster government to focus on welfare and not warfare in the interests of the people of Wales and the UK.

“With British military aid to Ukraine currently standing at around £8 billion and the government committed to an additional £3bn each year for the foreseeable future, it’s clear that there’s a very different attitude to money for war than there is for relieving poverty at home.”

Stop the War Cymru’s full statement is part of a feature article in today’s edition.

Welsh Labour was asked to comment.
