The Yeltsin Center in Yekaterinburg issued a statement calling for an end to hostilities in Ukraine.
The press service recalled that on the eve of the Russian authorities decided to conduct a special military operation in Ukraine.
“In 1991, Russia and Ukraine jointly made the choice of their fate – abandoning the legacy of the USSR, they began a difficult path to the community of civilized countries, to democracy and the market. After 30 years, Russia and Ukraine found themselves on opposite sides of the front line. This is an unthinkable disaster for both countries and their peoples. Realizing the full measure of responsibility that lies with us as citizens of the stronger side of the fratricidal conflict, we call for an immediate halt to hostilities,” the Yeltsin Center said in a statement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin in his morning speech on February 24 announced the start of a special military operation to “demilitarize and denazify” Ukraine.
