DEM VOLKE DIENEN

In the following we publish a statement of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) against the imperilalist war in Ukraine.

The propaganda battle continues. Now the us State Department "warns" about Syrian mercenaries who are to be recruited for the war in Ukraine. One looks in vain for other sources besides the statements of the US State Department.

The comrades of Rote Presse have informed us that issue 48 of the Rote Post is online. Furthermore, they have also informed us that after the latest issue reaches them, they will publish the respective previous issue. The latest updated issue can be found here.

The imperialist war with which Russia invaded Ukraine is a consequence of the plans of the Yankees who, with NATO, have been encircling Russian territory for decades. The inter-imperialist contradiction is thus coming to a head. Ukraine, a country that wanted to join NATO, has now become the battleground on which the conflict between the two superpowers is being played out. In 2008, the NATO summit in Bucharest found Georgia and Ukraine to be attractive candidates for membership. Shortly afterwards, the Caucasus War broke out, in which Russia recognised two independent states on the territory of Georgia, thus eliminating Georgia as a NATO candidate. After the pro-Russia government of Yanukovych was overthrown in 2014 with the support of the FRG and the Yankees in Kiev, and Russia subsequently annexed Crimea, Ukraine set itself the goal of becoming a member of NATO in 2017. This is something that Russia has been trying to prevent ever since.

Last week, a rally and a demonstration against the imperialist war in Ukraine took place in Berlin Wedding.

The activities for the Women's Struggle Day began this year with an evening demonstration.

The EU summit taking place today in Versailles is discussing, among other things, how an energy supply without reliance on Russian resources could be achieved. Around 40% of gas supplies currently come from Russia, which is to be drastically reduced - around two-thirds less gas is to be procured from Russia this year.

We publish a collage against the imperialist war published by Communist International.
