An anti-war open letter was sent to the German chancellor

"We fully agree that Russian aggression is a flagrant violation of international law. We also agree that there is a principled, political-moral duty to resist aggression. But everything that follows from this is limited by other requirements of political ethics," the authors of the letter write, according to Neokohn's report.

"We are convinced that we have now reached two such limits: One limit is where the willingness to accept the escalation of the war into a nuclear war is shown.

The delivery of heavy weapons could also make Germany a participant in the war, a Russian counterattack could trigger the support obligation of the NATO treaty, and this could mean the beginning of a new world war. The other limit is destruction and human suffering among the Ukrainian civilian population, no matter how legitimate the resistance to the aggressor is."

"We would like to point out a double mistake: The original aggressor is not the only one responsible for the escalation leading to nuclear war, but also those who knowingly give him reason for another guilty act.

And it is also a mistake that only the Ukrainian government would be responsible for how many human lives within the Ukrainian civilian population are acceptable to sacrifice."

Finally, the signatories express their conviction that Chancellor Scholz can greatly contribute to the creation of a peaceful solution that will stand up to history.

The interesting thing about the letter is that it was first published in the classic feminist magazine Emma, ​​as one of the initiators of the letter is Alice Schwarzer, one of the vanguards and perhaps the most significant representative of modern German feminism, the publisher of the paper.

Among the signatories are leftists, pacifists, conservatives, virtually every political trend is represented.

Most of the signatories belong to the older generation, to those for whom the concept of World War is more than an abstraction.
