Ukraine

Dmitry Pozhidaev — Reading Trump’s peace plan through Lenin’s method allows us to keep two planes in view at once: inter-imperialist rivalry and Ukraine’s national liberation struggle against an oppressor.

The Ukraine Solidarity Network denounces this latest attempt to impose a settlement that is not acceptable to the Ukrainian people.

Blanca Missé looks at inter-imperialist rivalry today, the need to oppose all imperialisms and the case for a class-based internationalism.

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

Boris Kagarlitsky discusses prison life, the war, Stalinism debates, the state of Russia’s left media, “red imperialists”, prospects for a post-war political realignment and why he has no regrets that he did not leave Russia when he had the chance.

Simon Pirani — At the heart of “Voices Against Putin’s War” are ten speeches made in court by people who opposed Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, and were arrested and tried for doing so.

Chris Slee — Even if it were true that Putin was “worried about NATO’s intentions”, that still would not justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine is still resisting heroically Russia’s imperialist war of annexation, writes Fred Leplat.

Dave Holmes — The mainstream media has been full of relentless, wall-to-wall propaganda against Russia and China. As the US-NATO defeat in Ukraine becomes impossible to deny, the campaign against Russia and its ally China has intensified.

Bjarke Friborg discusses his recent visit to Ukraine and why the Nordic left is making great strides in its thinking on issues of popular defence and security in Europe.

European Network for Solidarity with Ukraine — After Trump’s “summits” with Putin and European leaders, Ukraine confronts the immediate prospect of an unjust “peace” settlement that rewards the Russian aggressor.

Posle — Trump’s negotiations have evoked mixed emotions: hope for an end to the war, but also anxiety about its consequences and the terms of the potential deal.
