Ukraine: the fading dream of the European Union

by a Kiev observer Europe is slowly taking a stance against Zelensky while the USA continues to pressure Kiev to sign a peace deal with Moscow. Despite all the public statements in support of Ukraine, many European governments are trying to slow down military loans and donations.This cost cutting process began at the beginning of 2025. According to the Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspaper, by 2025, aid to Ukraine has been reduced from €3.8 billion to €1.9 billion per month, a decline of more than 57 per cent. According to the New York Times on July of 2025 the European Union reduced monthly military aid even lower to €1.7 billion. The Guardian also reported that Sweden and Germany continue to slash aid military budgets earlier given to Ukraine. Reuters and other media outlets mentioned that France, Spain and Italy also made significant reduction of military expenses to Ukraine. The main reason of this slowdown is the growing number of internal economic issues in Europe and the declin...

IUAFS endorses Your Party Grassroots Left slate

 Recently, International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity (IUAFS) voted to give its endorsement to the Grassroots Left slate in Your Party, the new party initiated last July by Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn. IUAFS is a United Front campaign of Communist and Socialist groups and individuals who mobilise against NATO's Ukraine proxy war in explicit solidarity with the people of Donbass and Crimea, and the oppressed Russian-speaking population of Ukraine more generally. We solidarise particuarly with the struggle of that population against the powerful Nazi trends that NATO has bankrolled and armed in Ukraine particuarly since the Maidan coup in 2014 - hence we support Russia's war aims of the liberation of the Russian-speaking population in the South-East from Nazi oppression, and the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine. Your Party members are now voting in its first elections for the Central Executive Committee - the party leadership, and what is actutally happening ...

Zelensky’s Assassins Threaten the World

by a Kiev observer Early in the morning of 6 February 2026 a man attempted to kill Russian General Vladimir Alekseyev. Around 7 am the killer, posing as a food delivery courier opened fire on Alekseyev outside his flat in Moscow. One bullet hit him in the leg and two in the body.  The unarmed general grappled with the gunman who then fled the scene. Though badly wounded the general is now recovering in hospital. On the same day the Ukrainian media outlet ‘Новини.LIVE’ reported that the assassination attempt was apparently aimed at disrupting Russian-Ukrainian peace talks. A source in the Ukrainian presidential administration immediately commented on the situation: “The most likely version is that a third party attempted to disrupt the negotiations in its own interests. In this case, the attack was directed not only against the Russian general, but also against the negotiation process itself, the continuation of which is most interesting to Ukraine today”. The Zelensky regime initia...

Europeans are Hostages in the Baltic Dungeons

by Alex Miller Though the expansion of the European Union has spread throughout the continent many people still find it difficult to locate the three small Baltic members without a map. These are Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia – three former Soviet republics on the edge of the European bloc who long ago missed out on better times with the collapse of  the Soviet Union; whose working class are in dire straights, on their knees like a poor man begging for some trifling hand-out to survive. Having completely lost their independence, identity and power they try to attach themselves to any strong Western power – like an annoying parasite unable to live without a master.  At the same time they stand out and behave so brazenly as if they have been appointed moral overseers of the entire European Union. They give lectures to the EU on world democracy. They scold others on free speech. They demand loyalty to themselves. They berate others who do not share their reactionary and racist i...

Stop Trump’s Bid for World Domination!

By Gennady Zyuganov Chairman of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF)   The beginning of the New Year began with President Trump casting aside the mask of peacemaker and showed that his real aim is blackmail and world domination. Indeed, he turns out to be a more aggressive American leader than his predecessor Biden whom Trump fiercely criticised precisely for his foreign policy adventures. After the attack on Venezuela and an unprecedented kidnapping of the country’s president, Nicolas Maduro, Trump, flushed with the seeming ease of his “victory” declared the whole of Latin America to be his property. He forbade the countries of Europe and Asia to do any independent business on that continent. Simultaneously he issued a warning that Mexico, Cuba and Columbia could become the next victims of aggression.  Mr Trump clearly does not intend to stop with Latin America. In Asia he has acted as the chief accomplice of Israel’s attack on Iran. In Africa, he green-lighte...

Greed and the Nord Stream explosion

by a Kiev observer He who rules the deep seas rules all maritime trade. Imperialism has turned its greedy gaze on the depths of the sea to establish its dominion there. Our attention is also drawn to the vast depths of the sea and certain facts that can lead to not just the location of sunken treasure but the details of a notorious deep-sea terrorist attack. In the autumn of 2022, the Nord Stream gas pipelines along the bottom of the Baltic Sea were blown up near the island of Bornholm. It immediately became clear that this was no accident, but carefully planned sabotage that required such extensive resources and preparation that it could only be carried out with very significant governmental support. Europe has lost its main source of clean fuel, amounting to 110 billion cubic metres per year. This pipeline was one of the strategic routes for supplying natural gas to Europe from Russia at very competitive prices. Following the 2022 terrorist attack, Nord-Stream was destroyed, causing ...

Ukraine: A Search for Identity and Freedom

by John Maryon Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians are predominantly from the East Slav sub-group of the Slavic people.  Crimean Tatars form an important ethnic group of the population of Crimea.  The fertile lands of mineral rich Ukraine were for centuries shared between the Poles and the Mongols.  By 1500 the Ottoman empire had expanded and taken over South East Ukraine and Crimea.  In 1654, following years of conflict with the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Cossack leader of Ukraine pledged allegiance to the Czardom of Russia in exchange of protection. Russian influence increased and in 1797 Catherine the Great established the port city of Odessa and the region became an important part of the Russian Empire.  Today most people have heard of the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale, Balaclava and the Charge of the Light Brigade.   It was an imperialist conflict for Middle East influence between Russia and an alliance of France, Britain and Turkey....
