This is an open letter from the Ukrainian electronic music community

Representatives of the Ukrainian electronic scene in an open letter appealed to the world cultural and musical communities to «act together against russian aggression». They called to cancel any cooperation with russian artists, promoters, clubs, and organizations that do not actively resist the actions of their government.

The letter was signed by 58 Ukrainian electronic musicians, formations, promoters and organizers of local electronic music festivals.

Text of the letter:

«On February 24 Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, Russia has been destroying Ukrainian cities and killing Ukrainian people. According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, more than 2000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed during the first week of the war. The actions of the Russian government are so horrific, that on March 2 The International Criminal Court in The Hague has started an investigation of The Russian Federation’s war crimes.

— Cancel all cooperation with Russian artists, promoters, clubs, organizations, who do not actively resist the actions of their government and do not explicitly take action to stop the Russian military invasion of Ukraine;

— Demand that every citizen of The Russian Federation takes to the streets to protests against the war in Ukraine, or resists silently by boycotting his/her job, and sabotaging Russia in any other possible way;

— Remove all representatives affiliated with the Russian state from the supervisory and advisory boards of your organizations;

— Refuse any donations, funding or sponsorship from Russian organizations and their affiliates based in other countries».
