The Desmond and Leah Foundation has condemned what it calls acts of war by Russia amid its invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation has urged parties to engage in dialogue and avoid bloodshed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Putin\u2019s actions hark back to the colonialism and imperialism of the last centuries,” the foundation said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The right of national self-determination is sacrosanct. As a result of these actions there will be lives lost, futures shattered, and families torn apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Foundation is deeply outraged that this act of aggression from Russia is having on the cost of human life. Images showed scores of residents desperately fleeing major cities in the search of safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We call on the South African government to join Ghana and Kenya in condemning Russia\u2019s act of war. This is no time to sit on the fence. The act of war and violence needs to be condemned in the strongest possible terms.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation has also called on BRICS nations and African Union to impose harsh sanctions on Putin’s regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We further call on the African Union, BRICS economic block, and all other countries to consider the strongest possible sanctions on Putin\u2019s regime, so that Russia will feel the full brunt of their violent action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Putin\u2019s act of aggression severely undermines Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and is a devastating blow to world peace, a breach of international law and a violation of human rights.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
