Stop the War in Ukraine!

By New Worker correspondent

London comrades joined a picket in Whitehall last week calling for an end to British weapons supplies to Ukraine, and for Ukraine’s puppet leader, Vladimir Zelensky, to step down to make way for talks to end the war in Ukraine. NCP leader Andy Brooks and other activists were interviewed by RT, the Russian TV news channel, during the early evening protest opposite the Prime Minister’s residence in Downing Street.
The demonstrators highlighted the grave dangers in the current battlefield situation of an all-out NATO war against Russia, sparked by support from some hotheads in the Western alliance for weapons they are supplying to be used in strikes deep inside the Russian Federation. This  was the latest initiative of the International Ukraine Anti Fascist Solidarity (IUAFS) campaign which has been supporting the people of the Donbas and the anti-fascist Ukrainian resistance on the street since 2014.
Zelensky’s electoral mandate in 2019 – won by promising to end the war in the Donbas – expired last month, and under the Ukrainian constitution he is no longer the country's sovereign representative. Any peace agreement has to involve the Russian Federation as the war is in reality a NATO proxy war against Russia, and that genuine negotiations to end the war in Ukraine must acknowledge Russia's fundamental security interests.

Warmonger Britain - Stop Arming Zelensky!

by New Worker correspondent


London comrades were back in Whitehall last weekend demanding an end to British military aid to Ukraine. The protest picket, called by the International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity campaign (IUAFS) was covered by the Arab and Russian media. The Lebanese satellite TV news channel, Al Mayadeen, broadcast interviews with NCP leader Andy Brooks and Theo Russell, the national organiser of the IUAFS and Theo was later interviewed by Russia Today (RT).
In the past 20 years Britain has joined wars, regime changes and covert interventions which have brought death, destruction and chaos around the world, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Belarus. Today the British ruling class is virtually at war with Russia in Ukraine, while desperately trying to organise subversion in Russia and Belarus.
Britain has worked with reactionary Islamic terrorists around the world, and with resurgent fascists in Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic States to further its imperialist aims.
British weapons are being used by the openly Nazi Azov regiment, while on the eve of Ukraine's major offensive against the Donbas republics on 17 February 2022 the UK military were training Ukraine's National Guard, which includes a thousand-strong neo-Nazi unit.
Boris Johnson himself led the way to sabotage the Istanbul peace agreement in April 2022, which we now know was very close to completion. Now Britain is coming under attack even in Kiev for sabotaging the talks, considering the enormous losses Ukrainians have suffered for effectively fighting on NATO's behalf.
According to Tony Brenton, the former UK ambassador to Moscow, Britain is the most aggressive of all the NATO members in Ukraine. He told BBC Radio 4 in May: "We have more special forces in Ukraine than any other NATO country. We are seen as an absolute hawk up there with the Poles and the Baltic states." 
Vladimir Zelensky's Jewish heritage has not prevented him from allying with the fascist Banderite gangs in Ukraine. On 14th  August he posted a video on his Telegram channel showing him meeting Ukraine's top neo-Nazi Andriy Biletsky, founder of the Azov Battalion and the Hitler-worshipping Right Sector. Biletsky famously declared in 2010 that the Ukrainian nation's mission was to "lead the white races of the world in a final crusade ... against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans]". Now he claims not to be a fascist, and that this quote was fabricated - conveniently for Kiev's NATO backers!

No Depleted Uranium to Ukraine!

by New Worker correspondent

NCP leader Andy Brooks joined demonstrators in Whitehall last week protesting against the British government’s decision to supply of depleted uranium shells to Ukraine. The shells are for the Challenger tanks Sunak is sending to Kiev to prop up the Zelensky regime’s fight against the Russians who intervened last year to defend the Donbas people’s republics and help the Ukrainian anti-fascist resistance.
    The picket opposite the prime minister’s residence in Downing Street that caught the attention of tourists and homeward bound commuters on Wednesday was called by the International Ukraine Anti-Fascist Solidarity campaign (IUAFS) and supported by the No2Nato and other anti-war movements. Theo Russell, the IUAFS campaign organiser, was interviewed by Russia Today (RT) through a live-broadcast link from Moscow to London. The protest was filmed by camera teams from the TASS Russian news agency and RUPTLY, an RT subsidiary, who later interviewed Theo Russell and Andy Brooks for other programmes.
    Depleted uranium (DU) is both chemically and radiologically toxic. Used in battle it is spread throughout the environment including the soil and water tables, and remains radioactive for more than 4.5 billion years. Significant increases in horrific birth defects, leukaemia and other cancers, kidney damage, and mental illness in children have been recorded in areas where DU munitions were used.
