Veterans for Peace want diplomacy not war

Give humans healthcare not warfare!

Veterans for Peace condemns the invasion of Ukraine. VFP's mission remains the same. It is committed to a sustainable and just peace.

As veterans know, increased violence only fuels extremism. We have all watched, and in some cases been firsthand witnesses, to how the human beings of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and so on have had their countries and lives destroyed by U.S. and Russian military involvement.

For the United States and Russia, the only sane course of action now is a commitment to genuine diplomacy with serious negotiations – without which, conflict could easily spiral out of control to the point of further pushing the world toward nuclear war.

Genuine diplomacy is a commitment to compromise and maintaining open lines of communication. VFP rejects punitive U.S. sanctions that harshen the lives of people across the region.

The sanctions that U.S. Pres. Biden is proposing are not "tools of diplomacy," nor are they non-violent methods of foreign policy.

The U.S. has a responsibility to pursue genuine diplomacy to push for an immediate ceasefire and to apply pressure on other nations to do the same. Read full statement
