Appeasing the aggressor leads to more crimes against humanity. 39 Nobel Prize Laureates called on world leaders to support Ukraine

On 27 March, the T-Invariant media published an open letter from 39 Nobel Prize Laureates where they called on world leaders to increase support for Ukraine and fight Putin’s regime. Oleksandra Matviichuk, Head of the Center for Civil Liberties, which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, was among its signatories.

The signatories call on world leaders:

• To drastically increase assistance to Ukraine.
• To uphold human rights and support democratic opposition in Russia. 
• To enhance support for Russian citizens.
• To back Russian democratic anti-Putin organizations, which includes supporting independent Russian media, whose role in driving regime change is critical.
• To delegitimize Putin’s illegal hold on power in Russia.

“Putin’s regime has shown that it poses a clear and imminent threat to humanity. The full-scale aggression against Ukraine and the assassination of Alexei Navalny illustrate the escalation of the threat to a new level, as Putin’s regime no longer acknowledges any constraints on violating human rights and international norms.

History teaches us that appeasing the aggressor means encouraging further crimes against humanity. No temporary benefits can justify this. We are determined not to repeat Munich-1938!

Refusing to acknowledge Putin’s re-election by world leaders will send a powerful message that the world can no longer consider him a ‘partner’”, Nobel Laureates pointed out.The open letter can be accessed at this link.
