Putin’s bombs are driving refugees out of Syria—Shut Russia out of SWIFT to stop the bombing
Putin’s bombers have dropped cluster bombs and firebombs across northern Syria.
Putin and Assad have bombed every hospital they could find.
Now Putin’s siege of Aleppo aims to drive 300,000 refugees out of the city and out of Syria. His plan is to make the refugee crisis even worse.
It is time for the UK and Europe to say enough. Make Putin pay for every day he bombs Syrian towns and cities.
UK: join with EU allies to shut Russia out of the SWIFT* bank payment system NOW.
Putin has already brought war to Ukraine, threatening eastern Europe. Now he is worsening the war on NATO’s southern border.
Letting Putin get away with mass murder will cost the UK and Europe much more than the loss of business from shutting Russia out of SWIFT.
And it will cost all of us our humanity if we stand by and do nothing.
