In this post you can find a collection of 12 anti-war caricatures, cartoons and designs drafted as a reaction to the illegal war of aggression that Russia is leading against Ukraine, and the war crimes that Russia is committing repeatedly against the people of Ukraine.  Why? To call for the ending of the mass-scale brutal violations of human rights and murdering of Ukrainian civilians that Russia has been perpetrating since the beginning of its special military operation on 24th of February, 2022.

About the designs: The first image, was inspired by a few online articles I read at the end of February /beginning of March 2022 as to whether Putin has gone mad or is simply bad. My current take is that he is both mad and bad. Version 2 is just an update of the caricature. Do you recognize him? Vote now, your opinion matters!

About these designs: The Stop War design was created back in March 2022 to express great sadness for the invasion and war against the people of Ukraine, the killing of civilians, destruction of homes and hospitals, stealing children and many other violations of basic human rights. The second version with the tag #StandWithUkraine was created in 2023, to ensure the message is clear. In Germany there was a long debate on weather tanks should be given to Ukraine to defend its territory. I am for peace but Ukraine is under attack and has the right to self-defense, it is Russia that must stop war now! These designs can be used in t-shirts, mugs, notebooks, stickers, pillows, laundry bags and more.  Vote now, your opinion matters! Participate in other design polls: Mad or bad?

  The United Nations were not able to stop Russia's attacks on Ukraine.  Can ordinary citizens make a difference?  Yes.  The situation is terrible, hell on earth Mass killing of civilians, destruction of hospitals, schools, water and energy supply infrastructure, committing atrocities… Russia has been breaking every moral standard and the fundamental international laws, including the United Nations Charter, humanitarian aid law, an International Court of Justice decision, as most Countries stated in the United Nations General Assembly on March 23rd and 24th, 2022.  Unfortunately Russia has a lot of power over other countries, because many depend on imports of oil, coal and natural gas from Russia. This gives Russia leverage over the other countries but it is also a major source of funding for Russia. –  according to the International Energy Agency, in January 2022, 45% of Russia’s federal budget came from oil and gas-related taxes and export tariffs alone. ...

  I am an ordinary person, less outspoken than most. I work too much and I am married, I do not have much time for activism. So why write a blog against war in Ukraine, a foreign land with which I have no connection? Russia invaded Ukraine On the night of 23 to 24 February 2022, Russia illegally invaded Ukraine, and everything changed. Ukrainian people are being attacked in their homes, cities and communities. Theirs lives, their livelihoods, their physical integrity, their access to food, water and energy are threatened. Murdered, imprisoned, raped, trafficked.  For key information on the war in Ukraine, visit the webpage:  United Nations Regional Information Centre for Westerns Europe .  Imagine if this happened to you, to your family, to your neighbors, to your friends. This is unacceptable, it cannot be allowed! We must act against such monstrosity, in any way we can. All of us. The art of CitizenPower4Peace The way I thought I could help was to use my amateur sk...
