Dear MoveOn member,

Ukrainian children and families woke up today to sounds of explosions, as
Vladimir Putin launched a ruthless, unnecessary, deadly attack—the opening
foray of what could be a devastating war.

[ [link removed] ]Please add your name in solidarity with the Ukrainian people—as we all
seek to support them through and beyond this conflict.

We are in solidarity with the people of Ukraine in the face of Russia's
choice to launch an aggressive war. We commit to international efforts to
end the war, promote peace and diplomacy, and support the Ukrainian
people.

Ukraine is a democracy that elects its own leaders—yet Russia's Vladimir
Putin is now threatening the safety, democracy, and freedom of the
Ukrainian people.

Putin's decision to go to war in Ukraine was his own choice—and he has
been using disinformation to lay the groundwork for this aggression.^1 It
will have devastating effects on the Ukrainian people, the Russian people,
and, potentially, the global community and economy. War is never the
answer, and it is wrong for citizens to bear the cost of Putin's power
grab.

While the U.S. government and international allies pursued diplomatic
efforts to prevent Russia's aggression, Putin has now launched attacks
that will lead to death and destruction and jeopardize Ukraine's autonomy.

The U.S. needs to work with international allies to hold Putin
accountable, bring this conflict to an end, and support the Ukrainian
people. We need to ensure we invest in and prepare for yet another refugee
crisis. And we need to make sure that no U.S. military action takes place
without congressional approval and only after all other diplomatic options
are exhausted.

In the days ahead, we'll find more direct ways to support the immediate
needs of Ukrainians suffering from this war, to advocate for a swift and
reasonable end to this conflict, and to hold right-wing politicians in our
own country accountable for justifying Putin's war of aggression and
disinformation. But for now, we start with solidarity with the people
whose country has turned into a war zone overnight and who need to hear
the global community is with them.
