The Antiwar Initiatives Congress is a gathering of anti-war and humanitarian initiatives, whose participants are ready to form a pan-European community — a platform.

The purpose of the congress

is to organize the cooperation of initiatives, to increase their effectiveness and visibility and to advocate together for the return of Russia to the path of democratic development and good neighborly relations based on the principles of international law.

Representatives of antiwar civil initiatives, non-profit organizations, political movements and foundations, as well as media, cultural, educational and economic activists, whose efforts are also aimed at a speedy end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and overcoming the consequences of the war and the Kremlin regime will be invited to the Congress.
