O scrisoare deschisă semnată de cel puțin 300 de slujitori evanghelici din Rusia condamnă războiul, spunând că „armata rusă este angajată în ostilități la scară largă într-o altă țară, aruncând bombe și rachete asupra orașelor din țara vecină Ucraina”.
Potrivit Christianity Today, semnatarii sunt în principal pastori baptiști și penticostali, precum și alți lideri creștini din Moscova, Sankt Petersburg și alte orașe din Rusia. Textul a fost făcut public pe site-ul unei edituri evanghelice pe 2 martie.
Scrisoarea se încheie cu aceste cuvinte: „Trebuie să ne pocăim pentru ceea ce am făcut, mai întâi înaintea lui Dumnezeu și apoi în fața poporului Ucrainei. Trebuie să respingem minciunile și ura. Facem apel la autoritățile țării noastre să oprească această vărsare de sânge fără sens!”
Uniunile bisericilor penticostale și baptiste din Rusia i-au scris președintelui Vladimir Putin, cerându-i să urmărească pacea, care ar putea opri cât mai repede conflictul armat.
