Sotsialnyi Rukh

A webinar marking the fourth anniversary of Russia’s imperialist invasion of Ukraine. Plus statements by Sotsialnyi Rukh (Ukraine), Posle Editorial Collective (Russia) and Ukraine Solidarity Network (US).

Sotsialnyi Rukh — Only through mass organisation and solidarity is victory in the war and fair reconstruction afterwards possible.

Sotsialnyi Rukh — The uniqueness of Ukraine’s situation lies in the fact that the dismantling of oligarchic capitalism has become more possible than ever in the context of full-scale war and is seen as justified by society.

One of the key decisions of the Social Movement (Sotsialnyi Rukh) conference, which took place in Kyiv on October 5-6, 2024, was the adoption of the resolution, “The path to victory and the tasks of the Ukrainian left”.

The recently formed Central Eastern European Green Left Alliance includes political parties and civil society organisations that advocate for a just, left-wing and social Europe, as well as corresponding policies in their countries.

Social Movement — A year ago, both the Russian aggressor and West powers expected Ukraine would fall within a few days. But a year has passed and we are still resisting. The lack of knowledge about Ukraine among most foreign observers prevented them from understanding why this is a war of imperial aggression and why Ukrainians are — and will continue — resisting.

Sotsialnyi Rukh - The people of Ukraine have been facing hard challenges, yet they have proven their ability to fight for the right to decide on their own fate, and their determination to defend the country and to end the war as soon as possible. A party is needed to implement an alternative vision of Ukraine — democratic, social, and socialist.
