6 Practically,
We support all efforts for a cease-fire under international control to
guarantee it, against all military offensives. Deployment of UN peacekeepers
from third countries not involved into this conflict could be required.
We are in favour of a neutral status for Ukraine, the withdrawal of Russian
troops and the immediate demilitarization of all the regions.
We support enquiries into war crimes and condemnation of criminals from both
sides. War criminals should be punished on the basis of the present
international law, while paramilitary units should be disarmed and disbanded.
We defend the need for a democratic procedure for changes to the Ukrainian
constitution.
We condemn xenophobia and hate speech wherever it comes from We support
antifascist and anti-war movements in Ukraine and Russia as in the EU,
independent from all governments and criticizing racism and war propaganda.
Ukraine is not a “mistake of history”; neither Russians nor Ukrainians should
be demonized.
Against so-called “aid” from IMF and EU which impose further attacks on social
rights. We demand joint international efforts for reconstruction of war-torn
regions as well as for the return of refugees and displaced persons and
refugees to their homes.
We call on left political and union militants in all parts of Ukraine to unite
around the social justice agenda stopping the country’s looting by oligarchs
via offshore tax dodging and breaking the vicious circle of borrowing from IMF
to pay back previous loans. In order to survive and achieve social and
political rights the Ukrainian population needs, like the Greek one, to
denounce and reject austerity policies by collective actions of the working
classes and to build parties which really support such orientation.
In Russia, Ukraine and all European countries, within or outside the EU, we
fight for another Europe based on free association of sovereign people against
all relationships of domination – that is, for us, socialism.
