Anti-War Campaigners Condemn Decision to Send British Troops to Ukraine

WASHINGTON

Lindsey German, convenor of Stop the War, said "After British military exercises in Ukraine last year; Nato's long known intention to construct a military base in Ukraine, and the US supplying weapons to the Kiev government, David Cameron's latest decision to send British troops to the Ukraine is another very dangerous development that will escalate an already tense stand off between Russia and the West."

Stop the War was founded in September 2001 in the weeks following 9/11, when George W. Bush announced the "war on terror". Stop the War has since been dedicated to preventing and ending the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and elsewhere. Stop the War opposes the British establishment's disastrous addiction to war and its squandering of public resources on militarism. We have initiated many campaigns around these issues.
