Demonstrate solidarity with the people of Ukraine by renaming Melville Street “the home of Scotland’s Russian Consulate” to Ukraine Street.
As you are reading this petition, the entire 40-mln nation of Ukraine is fighting for its freedom against Russian aggression.
Living outside of Ukraine, it is sometimes hard to know how you can support the people under attack. However, there is one way you can, simply by supporting the campaign to rename Melville street to Ukraine street. This would be a simple but meaningful act of symbolic support for the courageous Ukrainian people who defend the values of freedom and democracy from the 2nd strongest military power in the world.
As you know, Russia with its leader Vladimir Putin demonstrates quite poor historical knowledge about Ukraine. Russia seems to forget that Ukraine is a sovereign state. Walking down the Ukraine Streets for Russian representatives to their embassies and consulates all over the world would be a great daily reminder of Ukraine's sovereignty with democracy and freedom as its highest values.
Scotland has a great track record in solidarity with what is right. In the 1980s Glasgow’s St George’s Place was renamed Nelson Mandela Place due to its position as the home of the Apartheid South African consulate. Let’s do it again for Ukraine!
We call for global solidarity to initiate and support the renaming of the streets with Russian Embassies and consulates into Ukraine Streets all over the world!
