We are deeply concerned about the dangerous escalation in Ukraine. The conflict has killed hundreds of thousands of people, and has brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. 

CND condemns the Russian military aggression against Ukraine. There is no justification for war and we must stand against the escalating threats of the conflict turning nuclear. Real global security means a commitment towards peace, dialogue and disarmament. It also means putting pressure on politicians to prioritise the real threats to the way we live – including economic hardship and the environmental catastrophe.

 
 
 

The  threat of an all-out military confrontation between NATO and Russia must be stopped. Between them, NATO and Russia have around 12,000 nuclear weapons – some 100 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb. Even one nuclear warhead could kill and injure over a million people.

Instead of escalating the war, by allowing the use of powerfully destructive long-range, Storm Shadow missiles, we urge the British government to instead get all parties to the negotiating table, secure a peaceful settlement to the conflict and call a halt to NATO expansion.

War and military aggression will not resolve these complex problems, and it might end with the destruction of humanity. Only dialogue and openness to the concerns of others will make a difference. This is where government efforts must be focused.
Join CND’s calls for an end to conflict in Ukraine and an end to the threat of nuclear war.
