Russia launched an open war of aggression against Ukraine under fabricated pretexts on February 24th. This must have immediate, far-reaching consequences. One of the most effective means would be the exclusion of Russia from the international payment system SWIFT.
According to consistent media reports, only Hungarian government is blocking Russia's exclusion out of consideration for its own economic interests. This course must be revised immediately. To contain Russia's war of aggression, every day, every hour counts. We call on the Hungarian government to change course immediately and work for an immediate exclusion of Russia.
Short-sighted consideration of one's own economic interests must not play a role here. The damage that would be done if the opportunity to contain Putin was now missed would be infinitely greater.
Petition initiated by Yuliia Turba.
Reason
Today's Russian attack on Ukraine is the greatest threat to peace in Europe since the end of the Cold War and the greatest geopolitical catastrophe since World War II. We want to prevent the war from escalating, but this does not require looking the other way or appeasement, but rather massive political and economic pressure. We are asking Hungarian government to be the last one to block Russia from SWIFT.
