Dear John

Russia is probably the biggest supplier of arms to the Burmese military.

Not just arms. Since the attempted coup last year, there have been economic and trade delegations with the military, and Russia has been strongly defending the military at the United Nations Security Council.

The same Russian jets bombing Ukraine have been sold to the Burmese military and are used for bombing civilians.

So why haven’t we asked you to take an action on Russia until now?

As campaigners with few resources, we have to be strategic about when and where is the best place to apply pressure to have the maximum impact. We know you are busy and have lots of demands on your time. We only ask you to do things which we think will make a difference.

With careful timing and targeting we have helped persuade the British government and European Union to impose several rounds of economic sanctions, Countries like Turkey, Serbia and Ukraine have said they’ll stop arming the Burmese military, and dozens of companies have stopped doing business with the military.

But activists from Burma tell us that just because Russia is harder to influence, doesn’t mean they should get a free ride. They should be called out for what they are doing. So let’s call them out!

Email President Putin today and tell him to stop arming the Burmese military. ([link removed])
