INTERNATIONAL UKRAINE ANTI-FASCIST SOLIDARITY

On 9th October 2023, the Donetsk Declaration was adopted in the city of Donetsk. We call on all political parties, trade unions, public organizations and movements to discuss the text and join the Donetsk Declaration. Today the world is in grave danger.

Steve was previously International Editor of the Morning Star , and is also a member of IUAFS. He regularly reports from the Donbas and other regions of Ukraine which recently joined the Russian Federation. Steve visited polling stations in Donetsk during the recent elections for local and Duma representatives in the people’s republics which recently joined the Russian Federation, and said they appeared to be open, free and fair. He said he had witnessed "a return to democratic life".  He spoke to an old man who was in tears and said that it was the first time in nine years he'd been able to vote. However the Ukrainian Armed Forces deliberately targeted polling stations, and in one strike two civilians were killed.
