We kindly invite you to review and sign the Open Appeal to President of the United States Donald Trump and President of Russia Vladimir Putin
Dear Friends,
We kindly invite you to review and sign the Open Appeal to President of the United States Donald Trump and President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the following link: https://forms.gle/EdnwX3ZGjmuHDWNL9
Dear Presidents Trump and Putin,
On April 25, 1945, soldiers of the Red and the US Armies met on the bridge over the Elbe River in the city of Torgau on the eve of their joint victory over Nazi Germany. Eighty years ago, the Spirit of Elbe was born and serves as a beacon of hope for all those who want the United States and Russia to work together to benefit both nations and humanity. This is what both of you said on that day five years ago in 2020:
“The ‘Spirit of the Elbe’ is an example of how our countries can put aside differences, build trust, and cooperate in pursuit of a greater cause. As we work today to confront the most important challenges of the 21st century, we pay tribute to the valor and courage of all those who fought together to defeat fascism. Their heroic feat will never be forgotten.”
Unfortunately, today, when our planet teeters on the brink of self-destruction, we welcome your desire for peace and ask you to reinforce this statement by organizing a direct Presidential summit and supporting a cross-cultural, people-to-people dialogue based on traditional values and mutual respect. The safety and quality of life on our planet depend on such dialogue.
The Spirit of the Elbe is the key to peaceful and harmonious development, serving as a bridge of trust, friendship, and mutually beneficial win-win cooperation.
With high respect,
Organizing Committee of the “Elbe Spirit” forum and all those who cosign this appeal
