No To War - Solidarity with Ukraine Intro and summation speeches from a meeting of the same name, Monday 1 March, 2022. Speakers: • Denys Pilash from the Socialist group Sotsialny Rukh in Ukraine. • Chris Ford from Ukraine Solidarity Campaign. • Dale Street from Workers Liberty. Putins invasion of Ukraine is to force Ukraine to be part of Russia sphere of influence at the very least and may even be about snuffing out Ukraine as an independent nation full stop. This is a naked example of brutal imperialism. Socialists, the trade union movement and Democrats need to oppose this war and support the Ukrainian peoples right to self determination and self defence. We will also be discussing the practical way we can support the Ukrainian community here in Britain. https://workersliberty.org/ukraine This is the link for people to signup and keep in touch with Workers Liberty: http://www.workersliberty.org/signup Sotsialniy Rukh on fb https://www.facebook.com/social.ruh Taras Bilous' letter https://commons.com.ua/ru/letter-western-left-kyiv/ Денис Пілаш: Here is a list of different organizations and charities which work to help Ukrainians in their anti-imperial war against Russia: The Social Movement — The Social Movement is a left-wing public organization.
