Ukraine: 3 YEARS

The withdrawal of US military support and direct talks between Trump and Putin to end hostilities shows this was an inter-imperialist

Ukraine: 3 YEARS

Three years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine, an act that should be widely condemned.

People Before Profit has consistently stood with those opposing a brutal, colonial-style war.

It is estimated that nearly 200,000 Russians and Ukrainians have died. The Western powers have given €200 billion to fund a war against their imperialist rivals in Russia.

Russia has conscripted thousands of young men, often from its provinces, and thrown them into the front line.

Trump has opened direct negotiation with Putin, cutting out the Ukrainians. He has even demanded that they hand over valuable minerals to the USA. Nothing better shows that this has become a proxy war between imperialist powers.

The US has no interest in supporting resistance to occupation. You only have to look at their full support for Israel and their current plan to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their lands.

The terrible lesson of Ukraine is that national freedom for Ukraine can never be achieved by aligning yourself with an imperialist power.
