Since Putin's Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, this brutal and completely unjustified war continues to take thousands of lives and force millions to flee their homes. The Russian army is committing war crimes across the country, including bombing of civilians, murder, rape, robbery, forced deportation, and organization of quasi “republics” on the territory of an independent country with a democratically elected government. Additionally, the Russian government is weaponizing energy and blackmailing European countries that refuse to pay in roubles with gas and oil embargo. This war threatens the entire world with a humanitarian crisis and the unthinkable risk of nuclear conflict.

We demand that Russia is expelled from the G-20 group of countries and forbidden from sending any representatives to the upcoming G-20 summit in Indonesia.

The G-20 countries must take this unprecedented step to send the message that the civilized world will not tolerate this kind of intimidation and violent aggression.
