(The Guardian) Ukrainian-Australians rally around the country calling for Russian state to be declared terrorist organisation
The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations has condemned the latest Russian missile attacks, which have rained down on Ukrainian cities largely targeting civilians.
The federation is holding a series of rallies around Australia, with first ones held in Sydney and Hobart outside state parliaments. Another rally is just ending outside the Russian embassy in Canberra while Melbourne’s Federation Square will see a demonstration later this evening.
At these rallies the federation says it will renew its call for the Australian government to declare the Russian government, armed forces and FSB secret service organisation terrorist organisations under Australian law.
Stefan Romaniw, the federation’s co-chair, says: The latest massive wave of Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian civilians are acts of pure evil. They make clear the genocidal intent of the Russian state, which already stands accused of over 21,000 registered military war crimes, the mass murder of civilians at Bucha and Izium, and individual atrocities such as bombing shopping malls, civilian train stations and hospitals.
Current sanctions have failed to stop the slaughter. It is time for Australia to draw a line and designate the Russian state a terrorist organisation.
Putin’s reign of terror in Ukraine must be stopped. Ukraine must be given more military aid so it can defend itself and bring peace to its people and the world. Australia can play a significant role here - our Bushmasters have been hailed by President Zelenskiy and Ukrainian soldiers as being extremely effective in real combat situations.
