Commenting via the Community Notes function on the site, one user wrote: “Vladimir Putin is the only one responsible for this war by the way he violated Kyiv’s sovereignty and has been incriminated by the ICC for kidnapping thousands of Ukrainian children. If he would withdraw his troops from Ukraine, the war will end tomorrow.”
Responding to the criticism, Stop the War doubled down with a series of follow-up posts on Monday.
“As we’ve continually warned, these are the very real consequences of Nato’s intervention – escalating the Ukraine war in very dangerous ways,” the group wrote.
“This escalation is down to Nato’s refusal to allow a settlement. The anti-war movement must fight to end this war.”
Referring to a fire at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant over the weekend, for which Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, has blamed on Russia, it added: “Thousands more people forced to become refugees, fire in Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.”
