Ukraine Solidarity Campaign 🇺🇦✊🏽🚩
@UkraineSol
UK-based internationalist labour movement campaign in support of Ukraine + its labour movement. Founded 2014. Russia out! Victory to Ukraine! #SolidarityWillWin
On 28 July, join us in London for the launch of campaigning to say "Another Ukraine is possible - free from occupation" Register: bit.ly/anotherUAmeet With Vitaliy Dudin & Snezhana Oleksun of UA democratic socialist organisation @SocRuch speaking from Ukraine. More below 🧵
Also a reminder that Ukraine, unlike Russia, is a democracy with a strong civil society, despite all its problems. No such protests would be allowed for a second in Moscow.
Large protest in Kyiv tonight, the first signs of public dissent against Zelenskyy’s government since the full scale invasion, as demonstrators rally against the passing of a bill stripping anti-corruption bodies of their powers
to all the morons spreading a narrative like this: ukrainians are protesting so that our army can eliminate russian invaders more effectively, with all the resources possible and not misappropriated, not so that we surrender to them, hope this helps
Huge protests erupt in Kyiv against Ukrainian President Zelensky as he is a dictator and refuses to make a peace deal and end the war. Good for the Ukrainian people! Throw him out of office! And America must STOP funding and sending weapons!!!
Join ASLEF General Secretary Mick Whelan for the launch of new campaign Another Ukraine is Possible. We'll be joined live from Ukraine by speakers from Ukrainian democratic organisation Social Movement. ⬇️

We just met with one of our leading parliamentary supporters, John McDonnell MP, to discuss strengthening support for Ukraine in the parliamentary Labour Party. John is promoting the rescue workers appeal + calling for donations before it closes tomorrow: bit.ly/supportukraine…
Just over a day to go till the end of the crowdfunder for our Donetsk oblast rescue workers appeal, and we're past target - at £30,450 (in addition to direct donations of equipment etc). But the more we raise the more we can help! Please donate + share crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-fire…

The Issue is that: Russian Propaganda has overplayed how much power the Ukrainian far right has to legitimize their imperialist annexation in 2014 and Invasion in 2022. While Russian Nationalist and fascist groups took a leading role in pro-Russian separatist activities (1/
i’ve been pretty consistent in saying that eastern europe as a whole has a nazi problem but there’s been a concerted effort to deny that ukraine does specifically and in any case all ukrainians certainly aren’t nazis—most ukrainians fought in solidarity with the red army
Last week, we warned of a coming anti-democratic backslide. Now, we see it happening. A parliamentary vote, led by Zelensky’s lawmakers, today took away the independence of Ukraine’s key anti-corruption bodies. Zelensky signed it into law the same day. kyivindependent.com/editorial-dark…
Democracy in action. Even during war. Read that again. Thank you, Ukraine.
A leaked document revealed that Russia is demanding $15 million monthly—around 40% of CAR’s projected 2025 national budget—for security services from Africa Corps. Its fascinating that Russia can make such request and still claim to be Africa's best friend africaintelligence.fr/afrique-centra…
President Zelenskyy signed the bill into law. It’s a complete failure.
Another reminder why support for Ukraine's rights and struggle does not mean political support for the current Ukrainian government kyivindependent.com/veto-the-law-w…

Over 1000 Palestinians have now been killed while seeking food at Gaza aid centres. Countless are dying from famine caused by Israel’s aid blockade since March. How many more atrocities must Israel commit before our government stops arms sales and imposes sanctions?
My interview for The Ukrainians - on postcolonialism, western cultural biases, translation, Ukrainian-Scottish parallels and more - is now available in English. Thanks again to @BohdanaNeborak for the conversation. theukrainians.org/en/uilleam-bla…
