Russia’s attack on Ukraine has triggered the start of a military operation in the capital Kiev and other Ukrainian cities. People from all over the world have not been oblivious to the situation and have spoken out through social networks, including personalities like Stephen King and Cardi B.
Through Instagram and Twitter, the artists have raised their voices in protest to request a stop to the violence. Here is a review of the celebrities who have spoken so far:
Stephen King
Through Twitter, the American writer reflected on the conflict that is affecting the world. “What most of us learned as kids on the playground: You don’t stand still while a big kid hits a little kid. You might take a hit or two to get the big boy to stop, but that’s the right thing to do,” he wrote.
What most of us learned as kids on the playground: You don't stand by while a big kid beats up a little kid. You might take a punch or two making the big kid stop, but that's the right thing to do.

Cardi B
The American singer was asked by a follower what she thinks about the position of the Russian government and she replied that “I wish these world leaders would stop bumping into power and really think about who is being really affected (the citizens) in addition to that the whole world is in crisis. War, sanctions, invasions should be the last thing these leaders should worry about.”

Sending love and good prayers to all innocent people of Ukraine and Russia and Europe who are caught up in this sad and corrosive moment of asymmetrical violence and destruction, especially the young people. You have done nothing to deserve this perversion and obscene spectacle.
