More economic punishment for Russia and increased military aid to Ukraine. The opposition to Vladimir Putin organized in Spain, grouped in the Free Russians-Spain platform, demands that the international community step up the accelerator in its policies aimed at putting an end to the invasion orchestrated from the Kremlin and that triggered the war conflict that this week one year is over.
In a letter advanced by EL MUNDO and which will be made public next Friday the 24th, the exact date of this first anniversary, the association urges the European Commission to "comply now" with the resolution of the Community Parliament that "prescribes expanding personal sanctions taking into account counts the list of 6,000 Putin accomplices" presented by the Alexey Navalny Anti-Corruption Foundation.
Free Russians-Spain even believes that this list "falls short" and defends the inclusion in it of "all the main members of Russia's regional governments."
"Also in Spain and Andorra there are properties and money from various Putin accomplices, starting with his ex-wife Lyudmila Ocheretnaya," denounce the activists. For this reason, they demand "sanctions at the national level, that the origin of the money that these people bring here be investigated, that their properties be confiscated and their entry into the country be prohibited."
The platform, which alerts to the danger of the so-called "Ukraine war fatigue", also demands the closure of the Union of Organizations of Russian Compatriots in Spain and the different Houses of Russia, to which accused of "spreading hate speech and violence". "Their innocent cultural activities are designed to whitewash Russia's image, but what they do behind the scenes is promote support for the Putin regime and spread disinformation," the opposition group said.
In its text, which will be published on Friday coinciding with the demonstrations against the war called in different Spanish cities, such as Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia, Rusos Libres-Spain also addresses the debate on the shipment of military material to Ukraine, which it considers "absolutely necessary ": "Those who say that to achieve peace it is only necessary to start negotiations are wrong: you cannot negotiate with Putin or stop him with words because, whatever he says, he is not willing to negotiate anything."
"To reach a peace based on respect for human rights and international justice, it would take a military defeat of Russia and a regime change in the Kremlin," the activists say. "Like every empire, this one also has to fall," the text concludes.
