The Donetsk Declaration


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.

The financial capital of the United States and the NATO countries, acting together with the Ukrainian oligarchy, brought the Ukrainian bourgeois nation to the state of Nazism, provoked the war in Ukraine, using its people as a battering ram directed against Russia.
 The imperialist goal of the United States is the weakening and dismemberment of Russia into a number of warring entities. All this was supposed to make it possible to seize the economic territory and natural resources of Russia, as well as to establish control over political processes with the help of a puppet government. 
 At the same time, the imperialist efforts of the United States are aimed at maintaining its hegemony by unleashing bloody conflicts in different parts of the world, and this can lead to nuclear war.

At this historic moment, we, the undersigned parties, state:

1. Economic claims and political practice show that the United States of America is the only imperialist, the one most aggressive state, with the highest expenditure on armaments, with the largest number of foreign military bases, which took part in unleashing the greatest number of wars and conflicts with the aim of enslaving countries and peoples.

2. Today, the government of Ukraine pursues an open Nazi policy, openly calls itself "Bandera", ie Nazis who exterminate people on the basis of ethnicity.  We consider it necessary to recognise that the current government of Ukraine is fascist and Nazi.

3. On the part of the governments of the United States and NATO countries, the war unleashed in Ukraine is predatory, unjust, and purely «imperialistic». On the part of the Russian bourgeoisie, the war has a defensive character, therefore it is «defensive». On the part of the working people of the main territory of Ukraine, the most conscious and best strata of society, the form still has an ‘underground anti-fascist’ form. On the part of the workers of Donbas, since 2014, the war has taken the form of national liberation from the Ukrainian Nazis –a  ‘anti-fascist’, and is clearly ‘people's liberation’. Defending its right to sovereignty, ie to the independent exploitation of labour resources and the sale of natural resources, the Russian bourgeoisie objectively contributes to the just people's liberation struggle of the working people of Donbas.

4. The actions of the armed forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine have a progressive component to the extent that they fulfill the goals of the  Special Military Operation (SVO)  declared by the Russian authorities (demilitarisation, denazification, neutral status), in contrast to the actions of the armed forces of Ukraine, which are reactionary, bringing death and enslavement to the rebellious people of Donbas.

5. While recognising the right of people to self-determination, we call on the international community to recognise the choices made by the people of the Kherson, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Lugansk regions and to force the Nazi government of Ukraine to remove all its pro-NATO armed forces and punitive death squads from these territories.

6. Taking into account the current circumstances, we consider it necessary to help the organisation of the anti-fascist underground movement in Ukraine, relying on such organisations as the Derzhava political party and those indicated in the list below.

7. We consider it necessary to emphasise that it is possible to rid the world of fascism, wars and social vices only by following the path of progressive revolutionary transformations of society.
Representatives of political parties and organisations participating in the conference:

  • Russian Communist Workers' Party 
  • Communist Party-Communists of Russia
  • Donetsk Republican Branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation 
  • United Communist Party (Russia)
  • Communist Youth League (Russia)
  • New Communist Party of Britain
  • Communist Party of Lithuania 
  • Derzhava (Ukraine)

Ukrainians flee to avoid conscription

by Alex Miller Today most Ukrainians have lost their patriotic zeal. Guided by a common instinct of self-preservation and fear of serious injury or unwanted death they are not ready to sacrifice themselves. The new Ukrainian law on military mobilisation further aggravates the situation with conscription into the army. Numerous attempts of government to straighten out the mobilisation process have generally failed. Territorial Recruiting Centres (known as TCK) cannot meet the government’s recruitment needs. Large-scale military defeats, a high number of losses, an acute shortage of weapons, the complete absence of social benefits from the state, -- all these creates conditions when the majority of Ukrainian men prefer to flee to Europe and other countries.  According to the Belgian newspaper, Politico, during this time more than 650,000 Ukrainian men fit for service fled from the country. However, the actual statistical figures are much higher. The London Guardian on 29th June 2024...

Britain joins the war in Ukraine

by K Hill While the US has brought about regime change in Ukraine with the Maidan coup in 2014, installing a thinly disguised neo-Nazi government of Banderites and corrupt politicians to loot its resources, sell its land and saddle it with massive debts thanks to dodgy IMF loans, the UK has been heavily involved in the training of their military – now the second largest European army (after Turkey) in NATO.  The UK involvement has involved everything from bringing Ukrainian commanders for "special training" in the UK, Nazi tattoos on show much to the embarrassment of the British media, to the existence of special advisors, in reality SAS and SBS units, to supervise "on the ground" the attacks on Snake Island and Kerch Bridge.  This is the real reason our British press has been so obsessed with these two "targets" over the past two years, despite their lack of strategic importance, because they are great PR and distract the British public from the grim real...

NATO in deep crisis as the dangers to Zelensky grow

  by Theo Russell The current direction of the war in Ukraine has created an acute crisis in Western capitals, above all in Washington, and the position of Vladimir Zelensky, the president elected on a promise to end the war in Eastern Ukraine, now hangs by a thread. We must make clear here that this is not a war between Ukraine and Russia; this is a war forced on Russia by the NATO alliance. Ukraine is merely a proxy for NATO and is paying a horrific price for this war. The weaknesses of the once mighty NATO alliance have been exposed: after decades of relocating factories to developing countries they have now discovered that they are no longer able to produce sufficient weapons for a major sustained war. In contrast Russia, which Western experts love to claim has a GDP the size of Italy, has proved to be a manufacturing superpower with a highly skilled workforce and mighty technological and scientific resources. Russia has not only increased arms production, from bullets to hyper...
