The question is: how many more deaths does it take before you use your power to initiate peace talks? The more weapons you send or fund will only create less stabilization in Ukraine and its neighbors. War and conflict ends with some sort of negotiated settlement. Those companies, like Lockheed Martin, also happened to donate to your presidential campaign and receive over half of the nearly one trillion dollar Pentagon budget you just signed a few months ago.Īs the devastating war enters its second year, the escalation of weapons and propaganda is turning the conflict into a forever war. In fact, they profit from war and have monetary incentive to make politicians like you believe they’re “necessary” to national security. Human beings do not “win” in war, instead the weapons manufacturers and military contractors do. must also push for peace instead of endlessly supplying weapons to prolong the devastating conflict. President Lula de Silva of Brazil and other countries’ leaders are intensifying their push for diplomacy and negotiations as well.
Since my disruption, China’s president Xi has offered up a peace plan. The war has plunged the country into chaos and instability and the threat of nuclear war is terrifying to young people like me. The continuation of this war only means more death and destruction for the people and communities of Ukraine, those in the Global South, and the world at large.
Knowing that people are dying and will continue to die because of endless wars, I asked you to push for negotiations over further escalation in Ukraine. The continued escalation of this war has real consequences. I know that it was President Putin’s decision to illegally and inhumanely invade Ukraine but I believe you have the power to initiate peace talks between him and President Zelensky to end this war and to stop the bloodshed. Normal people like me don’t often have access to people like you and I couldn’t resist addressing you knowing we are in such a pivotal moment in history, one year after the horrific Russian invasion of Ukraine. You, the most powerful man in the world, were sitting right in front of me. My name is Olivia DiNucci and I am the anti-war activist who interrupted your dinner in DC the other night.
