Free Russia Forum Statement: The Free Russia Forum calls on the countries of the Free World to stand firm and stop trying to find a compromise with the Putin regime or “let him get out of the situation keeping a face.” The Putin regime is the existential enemy of modern civilization. It is possible to eliminate the threat emanating from it only by defeating its war machine and liquidating the regime itself.
Today we decide what our world will be like. We must not allow the establishment of a “Putin-style new world order.” One has to be willing to pay the price for it. We call for the maximum expansion of military assistance to Ukraine in all its forms.
The Russian dictator has again dramatically upped the stakes in the war he unleashed against Ukraine and the entire Free World. Not so partial “mobilization”, ridiculous sham referenda in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the declared intention to annex these territories, and far from subtle hints about the possibility of using nuclear weapons, all of it marks a fundamentally new stage of escalation.
The official announcement of the annexation of four regions of Ukraine finally turns the “Crimean precedent” into a new system. This means that any state whose leadership has a sufficient degree of contempt for human life and adventurism can flout the basic law and up to 2014 respected principle on which the world order established in 1945 rested: a categorical ban on annexations. A categorical ban on the unilateral, forceful capture by one state of the internationally recognized territory of another state.
If the world is unable to stop another annexation by forcing the aggressor to withdraw from the occupied territories, the entire system of international relations will finally collapse. An increasing number of states will rely solely on force and increasingly resort to it. The world will plunge into chaos. This is precisely the main goal of Putin’s Kremlin. Its goal is to establish a new world order based on the arbitrariness of the strong.
The very setting of such a goal is a crime against humanity. An even greater crime of the Putin regime, in pursuit of this goal, is bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. He can keep the occupied territories only by forcing the Western countries to refuse military assistance to Ukraine. The only means of such coercion is nuclear blackmail.
The Free Russia Forum claims that any collaboration with the Putin regime is aiding war criminals, mass murderers, and nuclear maniacs. The consent to put on a military uniform of the Russian Federation makes a person not just an accomplice, but an accomplice to all the crimes of the Putin regime. The price of refusing to mobilize today could be prison. But the time has come when everyone must decide for himself what price one is willing to pay for not being alongside murderers and executioners.
