Din cauza situatiei din Ucraina unde armata rusa a invadat ilegal un alt stat, am adresat o scrisoare pe care am trimis-o reprezentantilor nostri in congresul Statelor Unite, prin care cerem condamnarea actiunilor Rusiei. In Ucraina traieste o minoritate romaneasca importanta care poate avea de suferit in viitor. Totodata agresiunea Rusiei poate avea efecte negative si asupra romanilor din Republica Moldova. Maine dimineata, comitetul din congresul Statelor Unite, care se ocupa de problemele externe ale SUA, va avea o dezbatere pe aceasta tema. Semnati si voi aceasta petitie si dati-o mai departe prietenilor si cunostintelor sa o semneze! Puteti totodata sa o trimiteti congressman-ului din statul si districtul in care locuiti.

The Honorable Ed Royce
Chairman
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
2170 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Chairman Royce,
We
are profoundly concerned about the recent invasion of Ukraine by
Russian forces and we call on the U.S. Congress to publicly condemn this
aggression against an independent and sovereign nation, and to urge
Russia to pull back its troops and respect the territorial integrity of
Ukraine.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, under the false
pretext that it is defending the Russian minority in that country, will
create a dangerous precedent where no country in the world with any kind
of minority will be stable any longer.
Using the precedent
created by Russia in Ukraine, any country can unilaterally invade
another country under the guise of "defending" a minority. A similar
pretext was used by Hitler in 1938 to invade Sudetenland, part of
Czechoslovakia.
On the other side, a threatened country will
start increasing its military and/or start a process of ethnic
cleansing, in order to prevent an invasion. This will raise the tensions
between different groups of people, which can easily escalate in
conflicts that the world does not need.
We saw this scenario take
place in the former Yugoslavia, where over one hundred thousand people
were killed because they were of different ethnic background than the
majority of the population from an area.
The world should learn
from history’s tragedies and prevent creating precedents that permit
such similar human atrocities to happen again.
Any concerns that
Russia has about the well-being of a minority in Ukraine should be
addressed with the government of Ukraine and involving the international
community, using diplomatic and peaceful means, not to unilaterally
invade an independent and sovereign nation.
We fully support the
sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, according to
international law, and we condemn its violation by the Russian
Federation forces. Also, we fully support the desire of the Ukrainian
people to pursue their own dreams and future, without being pressured or
threatened by invading foreign military troops.
The corrupt
politicians already deprived the people of Ukraine of the opportunity to
live in a flourishing society. The current invasion and a potential
conflict clearly does not bring to the people of Ukraine or Russia any
benefits either.
Again, we call on the U.S. Congress to publicly condemn Russia’s act of aggression by invading Ukraine.
We
also call on Congress to urge Russia to unconditionally pull back its
troops from Ukraine and give the Ukrainian people the opportunity and
the right to determine their own future.
Please consider our concerns during the upcoming hearing on the crisis in Ukraine."
