As World Veterans, we want you to know that we stand by democracy, peace, and the Ukrainian nation in the strongest way. We want Putin's invasion of Ukraine to end without any more casualties.

There is no justification for the bullets fired at children and innocent people. Such violations, which threaten not only the peace of the region but the whole world, should never be allowed.

As veterans who have made every sacrifice for their country, we are also ready to take responsibility for world peace today. As we say in our motto, "with solidarity, we prevail."
