INTERNATIONAL UKRAINE ANTI-FASCIST SOLIDARITY

Bye-bye Kiev, hello Cote d’Azur: how Ukraine’s corrupt elites are profiting from the conflict By Olga Sukharevskaya, a former Ukrainian diplomat Since the beginning of Russia's military offensive in Ukraine, the US, EU, and their allies have provided Kiev with $126 billion worth of aid, a number almost equal to the country's entire GDP. Moreover, millions of Ukrainians have found refuge in the EU, where they were given housing, food, work permits, and emotional support. The scope is huge, even by Western standards. Considering that the bloc has been funding Kiev while coping with an economic and energy crisis of its own, the assistance is perhaps especially notable.      Kiev bases its endless funding requests on the collapse of its economy, due to the war, and its need to “resist Russian aggression.” But is the aid reaching its intended destination?      While Ukraine has undergone a general mobilization affecting all men under the age of 60, many former a...

Speech by the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the RCWP-CPSU Stepan Sergeevich Malentsov at the XXII Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties in Havana. Dear Comrades, We welcome all the participants in the meeting, and all the parties that could not come to Cuba, but stand with us in the same class formation. We express our special thanks to the hosts of the meeting, the Cuban comrades. An example of your courage and resilience inspires new generations of revolutionaries around the world. And the example of fraternal proletarian assistance to the Cuban Revolution, primarily by the Soviet Union, remains a subject of study for today’s communists. This is especially true in these October days, when exactly 60 years of the most intense days of confrontation with the Caribbean crisis, when the world stood a stone’s throw away from a possible global nuclear catastrophe, are exactly 60 years old. But thanks to the courage of the Cuban comrades and the fraternal solidarity of the ...

Joint statement moved by the Russian Communist Workers' Party and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation at the international meeting of communist and workers' parties in Havana  The Struggle Against USA and NATO Imperialism which Seek World Hegemony is the Key Task of the Progressive Forces The peoples of the world are witnessing a rapid sharpening of the general crisis of capitalism. Unable to cope with the growing contradictions, imperialism is becoming ever more dangerous for humankind. It resorts ever more often to provocations and conflicts. Its actions threaten a new world war and the use of nuclear weapons.      In fact the war, as armed struggle of classes, nations or states, has been waged since 2014 when the Kiev Nazis launched a punitive operation against the population of Donbass. People were being killed for wanting to speak their native Russian tongue, refusing to recognize collaborators with Hitler’s Nazism as heroes, to destroy Soviet monument...

this is a national liberation struggle Speech by First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine Pyotr Simonenko at the XXII Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties, Havana, Cuba, October 2022 Dear comrades! I cordially welcome the participants in the 22nd International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties on behalf of the Communist Party of Ukraine. The party which has been illegally banned in my country where our comrades and like-thinking people suffer political persecution, arrests and physical violence on the part of the ruling Neo-Nazi oligarchic regime, a regime which is, in essence, reactionary and fascist.      We have gathered here on the Island of Freedom at a difficult time. The forces of international imperialism, the sharks of globalization in their struggle for redrawing the political map of the world, for resources and commodity markets resort to any methods and in fact act as instigators of the Third World War. The tragedy is that the reactiona...

 Defend Russia! Down with NATO! Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega:  "With all the sanctions they've imposed on the Russian Federation, which is waging a just war against fascism, against Nazism, which is entrenched in the power of thegolpistas in Ukraine, they are destroying the European economy".  Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro:  “The war in Ukraine is not a local military war, it is a global war, an economic war. Indeed, it is a world war. It is a war against Russia, its goal is to destroy Russia.”  South African president Cyril Ramaphosa:  "The war could have been avoided if NATO had heeded the warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials that its eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less, instability in the region".  Khulekani Skosana, ANC Youth League:  “Our position is that we side with the oppressed people of Donbas who have been bombarded for the past eight years, and they don't have the opportunity to appear every da...
