Navzdory snahám zakázat novinářům dokonce jen používat slovo „válka“, mnoho lidí v ruském vinařském průmyslu požaduje pro Ukrajinu mír a svůj názor dávají odvážně najevo.
Petice vytvořená v sobotu 26. února na Facebooku již získala více než sto podpisů, a to i přes omezení provozu na sociálních sítích. Někteří ze signatářů byli zatčeni během protestů v Moskvě a dalších městech.
Text petice:
Open letter to V.V. Putin:
We, Russian sommeliers, wine trade and restaurant industry workers, strongly oppose the military actions carried out by the Russian armed forces on the territory of Ukraine.
We are people who make and sell wines from different countries, we speak many languages and we consider ourselves, Ukrainians and Europeans as our friends and brothers who bring the wine culture around the world. There is not a single person among us who would benefit from bloodshed.
We love and promote Russian wine worldwide, we want wine to unite the people of the world, we don't want Russian wines to be associated with war.
We cannot remain aloof from the pain that is growing by the minute.
We demand the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine and an end to the senseless bloodshed and the return of Russia to the negotiating table.
This letter is open for signature by all Russian wine professionals.
