Donbas communists speak out!

  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. His comments are reported below. “We have spent eight years fighting for the Donetsk People's Republic with volunteer detachments against the Ukraine Armed Forces (UAF). “ The Minsk and Normandy negotiations were cynically used by the Western Powers  to buy time for Ukraine to build up its armed forces, and in 2021 Zelensky declared  his intention to reoccupy the Donbas. “After 17 February 2022 shelling of the Donbas by the UAF greatly increased, and on  18 February the mass evacuation of children from the war zone to the Russian  Federation began. “The UAF launched an attack with 60,000 troops, and the Donetsk...

On April 3, a Ukrainian military drone strike killed 5-year-old Vladik Shikhov and wounded his 66-year-old grandmother in Aleksandrovskoye, Donetsk.

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