INTERNATIONAL UKRAINE ANTI-FASCIST SOLIDARITY

  By Theo Russell “ The immediate aim is the demilitarisation of Ukraine, and the removal of the current  leadership of Ukraine by any means” - Boris Litvinov On 28th May 2023 I met with Boris Litvinov, secretary of the Donetsk People’s  Republic (DPR) District of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), in  Moscow.

Many members of the anti-fascist People’s Militia have also been killed while defending residents. Since J
