NY Guyanese condemn invasion of Ukraine

Feb 25, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

The New York based Guyana Democracy Project (GDP) joins a growing list of world leaders, legislators, and international organisations condemning Russia’s unwarranted unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign state. It notes that the invasion has resulted in a senseless loss of lives and destruction of property and further puts at risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of the Ukrainian people.
This invasion could lead to a serious humanitarian crisis and the conflict would reverberate throughout the world, jolting financial markets and affecting supplies of goods and energy prices in Guyana as well as the diaspora. The costs of goods and services would skyrocket.
Thus, NY GDP joins with all peace loving people to halt this conflict and allow the people of Ukraine to be responsible for their own self-determination.
The organisation says that it stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine as it seeks international assistance to stop Russia from continuing its attack on the sovereign country.
The organisation states that the Ukrainian people have a right to live peacefully in their own country and with their neighbours. It notes that the Russian attack is a flagrant violation of the UN Charter that calls for the respect of borders of states. The NYGDP calls for an end to the invasion and urges diplomacy to resolve the conflict.
The organisation urges the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to halt the invasion and find a peaceful path to resolve the conflict and spare the wanton destruction and excruciating pain of the country.
The New York based non-governmental organisation, NYGDP in a statement released Thursday morning states: “Russia’s unprovoked assault on a sovereign nation is a violation of international law and the UN Charter and in breach of the 1994 international agreement. We categorically condemn the invasion. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and the Ukrainian people. We call on Russia to immediately cease its military mission and seek a diplomatic solution.”
The NYGDP, led by Dr. Tara Singh as President, was founded in 2019 to promote and defend democracy and good governance in Guyana and elsewhere.

Yours truly,
Vishnu Bisram
