Statement of Ukrainian Pacifist Movement regarding the U.S. aggression against Venezuela

Posted: 4th January 2026

Together with all participants of the “World BEYOND War” network, the Ukrainian Pacifist Movement condemns the military aggression of the United States against Venezuela.

The criminal dictatorship of Maduro could and should have been resisted peacefully.

Civilians should not suffer and be killed as a result of the brutal struggle for illusory absolute power between heads of governments, whose style of rule increasingly resembles mafia bosses.

The bloody “godfathers” bring only misery to humanity, their populist promises are aimed at deceiving peoples and manipulation, destructive to democracy, human rights and the culture of peace.

The geopolitics of mafia wars must remain a thing of the past, and in place of the international banditry of the “godfathers” – like the Putin regime, which has been tormenting Ukraine for four years in unsuccessful attempts to break our spirit of freedom, and other similar regimes on all continents – a new world order must come, based on the commandments of truth, love and nonviolence, which everyone knows from childhood from Christ, Gandhi, Skovoroda and other best people of all nations and traditions of the world, who live in the memory of humanity as an example of personal devotion to the common good and harmony of all people everywhere.

The peaceful teachings and actions of the best people of all times, and not murderous armies and weapons, are the only hope for a lasting and true peace, a better future and welfare of humanity.
