PROTESTERS
returned to Whitehall last week to protest against British imperialism’s
continuing support of the fascist junta in Ukraine. Earlier this year the
British government doubled its military assistance to Ukraine, to provide
training for an army which now incorporates 84 fascist battalions.
NCP leader Andy Brooks and other London
comrades braved the early evening cold to take part in the picket outside the
Ministry of Defence building opposite Downing Street on Thursday 24th November called by the New Communist Party
with the support of the Solidarity with Anti-Fascist Resistance in Ukraine
(SARU) movement. Daphne Liddle, Theo Russell and Dermot Hudson from the NCP all
took the mike to denounce the illegal regime in Ukraine and to express
solidarity with the people of the Donbas republics and workers struggling
against fascist oppression throughout Ukraine.
Last month a progressive Ukrainian
barrister told a meeting in London that in today’s Ukraine “trade unions exist
legally, but effectively they don’t exist”.
They have been forced to sell off
buildings and Soviet-era assets such as holiday camps and clinics, and “are now
in fact ‘owned’ by wealthy individuals”. Some have even held joint actions with
the armed fascist groups. Anyone protesting against rocketing unemployment,
corruption or lost savings are labelled criminal, ‘separatist’ or “the hand of
Putin”.
There is absolutely no democracy in
Ukraine, and its working people are being ruthlessly crushed. The Kiev regime,
which includes Nazis and has outlawed left-wing movements including the
Ukrainian communist party and the Marxist Borotba movement.
