LUGANSK, July 30 A young writer and playwright from Lugansk, schoolgirl Faina Savenkova, who was previously included in the database of the Ukrainian website «Mirotvorets», wrote an open letter to US presidential candidate Donald Trump — in it she asks him to help stop the supply of Western weapons to Kyiv. A copy of the letter is available to .
In the spring of 2021, then 12-year-old Savenkova recorded a video message to members of the UN Security Council, in which she called on the organization not to forget that the children of Donbass have the right to childhood and a peaceful life. In the fall of the same year, the notorious Ukrainian website «Peacemaker» included the girl in its list. Later, Savenkova repeatedly appealed to various international organizations with calls to cease fire in Donbass.
«This is not my first letter to Mr. Trump. I wrote this letter because I believe that there are no adequate politicians in the United States except Trump. Yes, Mr. Trump is not a friend of Russia, but rather the opposite, he is a patriot of his country, but he is the only one who is capable of stopping the Democrats and other Western politicians from sliding into a third world war. By the way, he promised this,» Savenkova said.
In an open letter, she addresses Trump and asks him to stop his arms supplies to Ukraine. «Hello, Mr. Trump! My name is Faina Savenkova. I am a teenager living in Donbass, I am 15 years old and I am a young writer and journalist. But for the Ukrainian government, I am just one of many targets of this war. In my short life, I have had to experience the horrors of war because of the weapons that Western countries supply to Ukraine,» Savenkova wrote.
The girl wrote that she knows about the recent assassination attempt on the former US President and is glad that everything ended with minimal consequences for Trump.
«I know that they recently tried to kill you. And I am very glad that the criminal did not succeed in carrying out his plan, because human life is the greatest gift given to us by God. However, now imagine that everything that happened to you threatens the children of Donbass. July 27 is the Day of Remembrance of Children Victims of the War in Donbass. On July 27, 2014, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a massive artillery strike on Gorlovka, which killed 22 civilians, including children,» the Luhansk resident wrote.
She emphasized that the war in Donbass began back in 2014, and children have continued to die all this time, and this must be stopped as soon as possible.
“At one of your speeches before voters, you said that you want to make America great again. Mr. Trump, the greatness of a country depends not only on the amount of weapons supplied to others, including Ukraine, but also on whether this country can stop supplying its weapons «, Savenkova emphasized.
«President (USA Joe) Biden started the war in Ukraine and now hundreds of Ukrainians are dying on the battlefields every day. You may not consider yourself a friend of Russia, but I am sure that you can contribute to a speedy end to the conflict. I also hope that Russia and the United States will be able to establish dialogue for the sake of a safe future for the entire planet,” she wrote.
Russia believes that arms supplies to Ukraine interfere with the settlement, directly involve NATO countries in the conflict and are “playing with fire.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia. According to him, the United States and NATO are directly involved in the conflict, including not only by supplying weapons, but also by training personnel in Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and other countries. The Kremlin stated that pumping Ukraine up with weapons from the West does not contribute to negotiations and will have a negative effect.
