Wake up Russia - the Scales of Justice Are Ready

By Ashleylister @ashleylister

 I hope today that I can speak directly to those who read our blog in Russia. I am fiercly aware that your government are clamping down on the flow of information to you by banning outside broadcasts, closing down radio stations and limiting your access to social media.  It is my hope that you still have internet access and can forward this missive to others in your country.

Putin has sent Russian forces, in hundreds of thousands, to invade and attack the soverign nation of Ukraine. I beg you not to believe him and his version of the truth that this is a military action to protect Russian speaking Ukrainians in Dombass and Crimea. Russian tropps are comitting atrocities in many cities in Ukraine. They are shelling and bombing residential and non-military targets across the entire country. 

There have been many civilian deaths, including women and young children. Hospitals and Kindergartens have been destroyed and millions of women and children are trying to evacaute to Poland, Hungary,  Moldova and across many European borders. 

Financial sanctions are being put on your country and this is why your Ruble is virtually worthless. Your interest rates have been increased to 20%.  Your sportsmen and women are being refused entry into the Winter Paralympics. FIFA and EUFA have banned Russia from taking part in international football tournaments and Formula One have cancelled the Russian Grand Prix. 

This is just the beginning. Many manufacturers and retailers are withdrawing from your country and life in Russia will be adversely affected for decades to come. Many countries have made representations to tthe Inernational Criminal Courts and an investigation is now underway into war crimes being committed by your government. 


You are nation of many people and in your number lies great power. Ukraine is your neighbor and many of you have family and friends in Ukraine. I plead with you to stand up for the innocent people of Ukraine. Your young men have been decieved into this invasion. They are dying to placate Putin's hated of the West and for no other reason. I ask you to rise up in defiance of your leaders. They cannot put you all in prison. 

Only the withdrawal of your troops from Ukraine and the restoration of peace in that nation will prevent the long term effects of the sanctions that the goverments of the US and Europe will inflict on Russia, There must be a way to prevent the loss of more inncocent lives both in Ukraine and Russia. 


God bless Ukraine. Adele
