European Network in Solidarity with Ukraine.
Russia out of Ukraine!
Solidarity with left, feminist & social movements in Ukraine & anti-war activists in Russia!
Not true. Jill Stein has consistently justified Russian bombing of other people's kids in Ukraine. Her Russia- and China-linked financial backers demand it, and she faithfully delivers.
Cant help, wont help. Varoufakis drove East Europeans out of his 'Progressive International'. Ejected Ukrainians & anti war Rusians from his public meetings. Demanded Ukraine surrender & called it peace... Greek and German voters gave Varoufakis the answer he deserves. Goodbye!
You mean like the 2022 bombing of the Mariupol theatre with "Дети” (children) written in huge letters on roof? That didnt change the way RU sympathisers in the west think? They kept talking about how everything is NATO's fault. They think peace = RU keeping the land it stole.
We all know that if Russian forces had burned alive dozens of refugees, including little kids, there would be justified screams of outrage and disgust from Western leaders and media outlets.
It would be used as key evidence that Putin is one of the great monsters of our age.
Red brown convergence is the shape of things to come. Ukraine is the wedge issue that separates Europe's democratic right from the fascists and separates the democratic and internationalist left from the anti-west 'campists'.
Yanis Varoufakis has always campaigned against western delivery of air defence systems to Ukraine. He also opposes sanctions on Russian missile producers. He is not, in fact, against bombs.
Irish voters rejected 'campist' Mick Wallace's EU Parliament re-election bid. Wallace recieved many far right transfer votes & massive Russian support to his social media campaign. But Irish voters rejected his anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, his tax fraud & his support for dictators
Most Palestinians sympathise with Ukrainian resistance. Here's a selection of articles by activists in both countries as well as Palestinians living in Ukraine.
@SarahAshtonLV
Comparing Ukraine with criminal Israel, which is committing genocide, is spitting in the face of Ukrainians. You are a disgusting person.
I am quite willing to take the point that the UN's casualty figures for Ukraine are an undercount. Even if 100,000 Ukrainian civilians have died, though, this appalling genocide would still not be more "actual" than what is happening in Gaza.
Finland's Left Alliance Chairperson Li Andersson says The Left group in the new European Parliament, should clean out members who oppose support for Ukraine and show sympathy for Russia. Hyvä Suomi! Heja Finland!
Jeremy Corbyn offered 40m Ukrainians national extinction and a life in a fascist regime run from Moscow. Ukrainians are workers too. Peace at any price (but only if you live in a nice part of London).
Jeremy Corbyn offered a genuine new deal for workers
Standing with workers in dispute
Standing on picket lines
Speaking for collective strength
Directing young people to Trade Unions for a better future
Offering hope.
Trade Unions- back him now.
When Ukrainian-British activist Natalie Kopytko met left leader Jeremy Corbyn she had some polite questions for him. Since he was unable or unwilling to answer, she followed up by email. After months without a reply, she decided to make her email public.
The country has a Jewish president. The governor of one of the regions is Korean. There is a black MP in parliament. Representatives of the Jewish and Muslim communities, but also Nigerians, Afghans or Moroccans fight in their army.
1. Left and green politicians from 11 countries in Europe and the Americas today launched "Elected Left for Ukraine" (ELU). This network will lobby for political and material support for Ukraine, in solidarity with working people and civil society.
Russia is Europe's most right-wing authoritarian regime, annexing & destroying Europe's poorest country. But NOT ONE SPEAKER, NOT ONE PANEL at this event. This is a festival of narcisistic self congratulation, distracting the European left. Today's NO PASARAN fight is in Ukraine

We should build bridges beetwen all the opressed and attacked in the whole world by various imperialisms - Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kurds, Palestinians, Iranians, Yemenis, Baloch, Hazaras, Tigrayans, Burmese, Uyghurs, Taiwanese, Hongkongers, ethnic minorities in Russia, ect.
Corbyn refused to meet with Ukrainian labour and left reps. He agitated to end sanctions on Russia and arms supply to Ukraine. Appeasing Russian fascism isnt a traditional labour value, it's a personal disgrace and a political dead end for leftists.

Julian Assange should never have been jailed and tortured for helping Chelsea Manning expose United States war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their freedom means the West is failing to silence dissent.
Clare Daly failed to keep her seat in the European Parliament. Despite significant transfer votes from the far right candidates, she was eliminated. She will continue to lobby for Putin. But not paid by the Irish and European taxpayer.
Some photos from the Paris demonstration in support of Ukraine organised by various left groups, trade unions and Ukrainian, Georgian, Syrian diasporas, ect.
Correct, Eden Golan participated in this music festival, legitimizing Russian annexation of Crimea. We dont know how many performances that entailed. Doesn't matter. Boycott supporters of colonialism and genocide.
@EuropeanWith
I haven’t seen any evidence of her performing many times in Crimea. Only the New Wave competition in 2016 when she was 12. Are there others? I’m all for people expressing their opinion on this topic, genuinely asking here.
The LGBT+ community is openly and actively fighting for its rights. If such a state is 'Nazi', as campists claim, then the term probably means absolutely nothing to those who use it in this contect.
Yanis Varoufakis has always campaigned against western delivery of air defence systems to Ukraine. He also opposes sanctions on Russian missile producers. He is not, in fact, against bombs.
Towards the end of his long engagement as a public intellectual, Noam Chomsky pandered to the Putin-sympathising part of his fan base & repeated Russian propaganda about Ukraine.
Like everyone, he is entitled to a peaceful retirement. It is a pity he did not retire earlier.
Hearing Noam Chomsky's health has deteriorated to the point it now prevents him from writing, commenting or participating in the public domain. As an educator he has been without equal. An intellectual giant in an age of confusion, misinformation & soundbites. Thank you, Noam. ❤️
Forced russification of Ukrainians is genocide, as is the removal of tens of thousands of children for adoption in Russia, & forcing millions of mostly women and children into exile. We dont compare genocides, but unlike Owen Jones, we recognize all genocides when we see them.
Why does Russia systematically torture POWs? Why deport and russify Ukrainian children? Genocide. Fascist expansion by killing part of the nation and brutally remaking the survivors as 'little Russians' of 'New Russia."
I know engaging with fascists is basically worthless, but I feel it's important for people to be reminded of the fact that Russia literally said "We're gonna genocide em"
Some reactionary narcisists thrive on this stuff. Last year Chinese singer Wang Fang decided Mariupol theatre would be a cool venue to perform Russian song Katyushka. More than 800 children burned to death or crushed. But great acoustics.
The UK and EU refugee-friendly policies towards Ukrainians should be extended to other asylum seekers from war zones. Starting with Palestinians and Syrians...
The left's unconditionaly supporting Ukrainian resistance (armed and non-armed) needs to gain visibility. Please, if you support our work, tell your friends and networks about us, retweet and follow and support us in other possible ways (meetings, demonstrations, debates, ect.).
Wallace's former profession is as a millionaire building contractor with multiple convictions for tax and VAT fraud. How anyone thought he cared for or represented poor people is a mystery.
Mick Wallace once took a break from defaming Syrians to tweet:
“Zelensky was probably better suited to his former profession”
Well who’s laughing now Mick?
Opinion polls show that during the war, Ukrainians are becoming more democratic-minded with increased peference for parliamentary leadership rather than a strong leader, for example. Russia on the other hand is closer to fascism every day.
@vaarufj
"The mass slaughter in Srebrenica, for example, is certainly a horror story and major crime, but to call it 'genocide' so cheapens the word."
Noam Chomsky on the Srebrenica Massacre, which left 8,000+ Bosniak Muslims dead.
Your quoted 10,000+ civilian deaths in Ukraine is ONLY the UN confirmed deaths in Ukraine-controlled territory. It doesnt include deaths in Russian occupied Ukraine, because Russia doesnt allow the UN to monitor deaths or visit Ukrainian POWs.
"An actual genocide." In Ukraine 10,000+ civilians have been killed by the Russian invasion: 0.025% of the population. In Gaza 25,000+ civilians have been killed by the Israeli invasion (conservative figure): over 1% of the population. You tell 'em, John.
"If a Ukrainian Marxist allows himself to be swayed by his *quite legitimate and natural* hatred of the Great Russian oppressors to such a degree that he transfers even a particle of this hatred, even if it be only estrangement, to the proletarian culture (...)
We want to thank all our 2,303 followers, but still ask for more. The left supporting the armed and unarmed Ukrainian resistance needs to be more visible in the public sphere.
Russia is more fascist than any other European country. The only way to stop fascism today is to support Ukrainian armed resistance & the Russian anti-war movement
*In WWII, Ukrainians proportionally contributed more red army and civilian deaths than any other Soviet republic.
Never forget Russia suffered more casualties in the war against fascism than any other country on the planet. The freedom the West takes for granted was secured largely on the backs of & through the spilled blood of millions of Russian soldiers. They are not my enemy. Far from it
France's New Popular Front supports Ukrainian and Palestine resistance to occupation. Unlike PBP. The French far right is opposed to military aid to Ukraine. Like PBP.
The French Left beats back the Far-Right!
The far right, led by Marine Le Pen, have been beaten back into third place.
After European elections which saw the far right rise, the French left united to push them back.
Crucially they united around radical demands... (1/4)
Biggest war in Europe since WWII but this event is planned as 100% free of Ukrainian left and social movements and antiwar Russians. No debate here and no solidarity with victims of imperialism unless its western imperialism.

No mention of Russia in this condemnation of 'global' far right. The most authoritarian and violent state in Europe is mentioned only as a victim of western aggression.
The Sejm of the Republic of Poland recognized the deportation of
#CrimeanTatars
in 1944 as genocide.
Earlier, four other countries — Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Canada recognized the 1944 deportation of Crimean Tatars as an act of genocide.

First meeting of the Global Left Network for Ukraine Solidarity took place on 10 November. The aim of the initiative is to create a forum for the exchange of information and the organisation of joint activities between left groups in solidarity with Ukraine from around the world.
Clare Daly, the far left Irish MEP candidate who corresponds with Russian spies, goes on regime-financed trips to Syria &, on election night, relies on transfer votes from the far right.
Most Irish anticapitalists think this is normal/not relevant/CIA propaganda.
What the f**k?
This is precisely what Russian military spokesmen say about Ukraine. Can Mehdi Hassan show an example of Russians investigating their own crimes? Russia doesnt even allow the Red Cross to visit occupied Ukraine.
Left groups or individuals, who unconditional support armed and unarmed Ukrainian resistance and their right to receive weapons from wherever they can get them and want to take part in the meeting of the Ukraine Global Solidarity Network contact us via private message.
Yes, the anti-war left is starting to rise! Here we are in Detroit calling for negotiations in Ukraine. We are holding teach-ins, marching, lobbying Congress. Join us.

Ukrainian labour and left activists call on west to stop all arms deliverie to Israel and redirect to Ukraine.
Read in various languages and sign petition.
Two of the major data dumps that Wikileaks has refused to publish are a hack of the Russian Interior Ministry [FSB] and data from a mobile phone linked to a Trump and Yanukovich campaign manager.
@voiceinwild
We will do everything we can to not let you spread your lies in any country. You can be sure. You are not the left, you are not the peace movement, you are not anti-imperialists, you just people spreading Kremlin fakes.
There are a few German leftists who are in solidarity with Ukraine and Palestine. Groups like
@righttoresistua
, and there is also German language left media like
@emanzipation_z

Trade unionists in Ukraine are literaly fighting a fascist invasion. Unionists in Belarus have been imprisoned for sabotaging transport of RU military trains. Meanwhile the 'international network of antifascist trade unions' talks only about other places and right wing threats.
Western government, elite & mainstream media response to the Israeli offensive in Gaza is exploited by campists to argue that the west (not Russia) is genocidal, that the west is as authoritarian or worse than Russia, & Russia is a friend of Palestinians & the global south.
Stop the War, Socialist Workers Party, NLR and the rest dont focus on UkrainoNazis so much nowadays. Their main effort is to argue that Russia is not descending into fascism/that the west is just as authoritarian or worse. So the enemy is still at home.
Crimea is not part of Russia. Civilian deaths there - mostly Ukrainian civilian deaths - are a tragic consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Any Russians who moved to Crimea after the invasion are part of the occupation and should leave.
US weapons & intel used to kill Russian children. Russia, which has the world’s largest stockpile of nukes, vows to respond. No one here finds it newsworthy—showing concern about fucking with nuclear war makes you suspicious, perhaps treasonous. We’re all with stupid.
There have been a lot of new people here recently. If you think the issue of left/progressive solidarity with Ukraine is important and you want more information from Ukrainian trade unions and social movements then follow us and let others know about our activity.
Varoufakis, Daly and Wallace have one thing in common: left wing voters rejected their Putin-apologies, appeasement calls, and millionaire lifestyles at taxpayer expense. None of them are in national or European parliament any more. Lets make sure it stays like that.
There is no reason to think Assange was "forced" to block the leaks that discredited Russia and Russian allies inside Ukraine. Or that he had any desire that this material ever be published. Assange sympathised with Kremlin geopolitics. Full stop.

Congratulations to the 500 participants in Kyiv pride this weekend. The march was led by LGBT+ soldiers, serving with pride. This banner reads "Together for equality and for victory."
German fascists raise funds for Russian occupants & collaborators in occupied Ukrainian Donbas. Meanwhile much of the radical left calls for an "antifascist" end to sanctions & western arms supply to Ukraine. They ignore the real fascists right in front of them, & in Moscow.
German fascists and hard campist 'anti-fascists' are raising funds and supplying to the Russian army and mercinaries: The German charity “Bridge of Peace - Assistance to War Victims,” which claims to be against fascism, is providing supplies to the…
Western campists' favourite Ukrainian neo-stalinist has decided to pretend that the Russian state isn't racist. Apparently only a pro-NATO racist would suggest otherwise. Pure cynicism, intended to disrupt and discredit left critique of Russian imperialism.
We are in favour of Ukraine getting enough weapons and money to repel the invader. From whoever. All other options seem to lead to a Russian victory and annexation part or all of the country. That would certainly strengthen western militarism.
@EuropeanWith
This account is not edgy enough for a troll account, but not serious enough for a real one. I am sure, there is a niche who wish to be a "left" aligned with NATO on every issue, but it surely isn't big enough.
Ukraine's growing LGBT+ movement includes the armed forces-oriented Union of LGBT Military, Veterans, and Volunteers. Something that many western countries still dont have.
Many LGBT+ soldiers serve openly and chose to wear a unicorn patch.
For Pride Month, I decided to take a look at the European Social Survey data for Ukraine. One of the questions asked whether respondents agree that gays and lesbians should be free to live the life they wish. In 2022, just before the invasion, opinions were divided. About 40% of
What nonsense to call a journalist who has written eztensively about civilian suffering in Tigray, Gaza, Syria, Sudan and (also) Ukraine a morally blind degenerate only interested in white suffering.
@ProfSunnySingh
In the year of Our Lord 2024, I feel that people genuinely feeling this sentiment (i.e. only white suffering deserves empathy) are a lost cause. They are so morally blind and degenerate that we can only leave them to God because they are beyond our best efforts.
Most gay marriages, just like straight marriages, are among the "poor and lower classes," & between two "working people." Ukrainian public is increasingly open to marriage for all, recognising LGBT+ participation in armed forces, and in reaction to Russian anti-LGBT+ obsession.
Tankies don't care about people in the 'DNR' and 'LNR' but they still mythologise these fascist statelets as a justification for Russian intervention. Important to let them know that tankie internationalists are still dying in Donbas torture chambers.
Not bad. Ukrainian media are able to criticise policy & practice of state, government & private sector. No journalists in prison. True, oligarchs control too many TV stations. RU troops target UA journalists. Ukraine's RSF index rating improved this year.
Most of the Ukrainian partisans in occupied regions speak Russian at home. So do most soldiers of the Azov Regiment. Ukraine's 'ethnic civil war' is Russian propaganda.
Manifestación pro-palestina en la plaza Myjailivska de Kyiv, Ucrania. Julio de 2024. Miembros de la diáspora salieron a la calle con banderas palestinas y ucranianas.
So we should not support Palestinians or Vietnamese? Should we expect Iraqis or Afghans to give up? Should we condemn the Paris Commune, the Republicans who fought in the Spanish Civil War, the fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto, the Kurds of Rojava?
“The relentless stream of funding announcements, in the absence of any public discussion of what the U.S. is doing to seek an end to the conflict, has signaled to critics a recognition that there is no end in sight to the war”
@alicesperi
Stop pretending to be interested in the labor rights of Ukrainians. Most that has been done on this issue is the work of the trade unions there and organizations like
@SocRuch

Similarly, the Great-Russian Marxists will be bogged down, not only in bourgeois, but also in Black-Hundred nationalism, if he loses sight, even for a moment, of the demand for complete equality for the Ukrainians, or of their *RIGHT* to form an independent state."
This poster distributed in Tel Aviv neighbourhoods with lots of Russian speakers by Russian- and Ukrainian Israeli peace activists against both occupations.
her parents own business in russia, she’s been to crimea after illegal russian annexation, she collaborated with russian who are pro-state and pro-genocide.
In neutral Ireland the government had the excellent idea to support mine clearance in Ukraine. Wide popular support for this. The fake pacifists of People before Profits and the various independent left groups and personalities said this was an attempt to pull Ireland into NATO.
There are a few genuine pacifists in western Europe, helping refugees, or lobbying for non military support to Ukraine. The rest are fake pacifists: they oppose Ukrainian resistance, but cheer amyone who resists western aggression.
La artista Nika Kozhushko, de 18 años, murió en el ataque ruso en Járkiv..Nika participó activamente en la vida cultural de su ciudad. Ayudó a revivir la memoria de los escritores socialistas ucranianos de los años 1920, cuya generación se conoce como el "Renacimiento fusilado".
We offer a signed photo of Chomsky to anyone unable to access the authentic statements of Russia's leaders on the internet using the simplest search commands.
Ukrainian antifascist Maksim Butkevych, who have been captured by Russian armed forces, is alive and imprisoned in the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic", according to a relased video.
More about our campaign about POW`s in the link.
Ukrainians sacrificed more than most to defeat fascism, but the freedom won was not for them. Today they resist Europe's most reactionary, authoritarian regime. Stand with Ukraine! Give no place to 'antifasists' who use USSR losses in WWII to make excuses for Russian imperialism!
Reminder: Branko Marketic was against supplying Ukraine with the arms that already prevent many Buchas and mini Buchas. If he had his way, Russia would be free to Bucha whole regions of Ukraine.
More than 400 were killed in Bucha. There have now been several comparable massacres carried out by Israel, and many more smaller ones - a war full of Buchas and mini-Buchas - and still the US hands Israel more weapons & political support to commit more of them.
Today's Russian plan for Ukrainians resembles the Nazi plan for Czechs. Back then Berln thought 1/3 of Czechs could be Germanised, 1/3 were harmless peasants and manual workers, and 'only' 1/3 were the nationally and socially minded element - to be physically eliminated.
Please listen to Timothy Snyder explain that the Russians expected to only kill the UKr elite, incarcerate the intelligentsia, and the rest of the 'plebs' would happily become Russian. Not the case. So now RU needs to kill millions of those who identify as Ukr.
The International Criminal Court has acted quicker on Palestine than on Ukraine. It seeks prosecution of higher level officials, for a greater # of crimes of greater severity. And it has ordered Israel but not Russia to stop. Happy to see justice in Middle East, of course.
We all know that if Russian forces had burned alive dozens of refugees, including little kids, there would be justified screams of outrage and disgust from Western leaders and media outlets.
It would be used as key evidence that Putin is one of the great monsters of our age.
Rifondazione Comunista's obsession with 'Ukrainian nazis' made them pawns in a Kremlin orchestrated fake news campaign to facilitate the gradual annexation of Ukraine. Leading to the torture & murder of real Ukrainian & Russian antifascists by Elena Forenza's comrades in Donbas.
Keynote speaker at the European Left's No Pasaran event today is Elenora Forenza (Rifondazione Comunista). Famous for her 2017 "antifascist caravan" to the ultrareactionary Russian-backed "Peoples Republics" in Donbas & her ongoing praise for their leaders.
Putin demands 5 Ukrainian regions? Offer him less! Test him! Don't shout that annexation is unacceptable! From the guru of Britain's SWP we expected a demand for Russian troops to leave Ukraine & some peace proposal that centers working people. Down with imperialism, Alex?
Alex?
Just imagine that the world doesn't end at US, that American imperialism is not the only one and that internationalists should listen to people on the ground, those who fight national liberation struggle, the opressed, local left/trade unions/social movements. Simple as that.
Other difference is that Zuckerberg censors truth about Palestine and Assange systematically chose not to publish documents that discredited Russia. Not such a big difference when you think about it.
