Ukraine - October 17, 2026

While Putin continues to menace the nation,
Zelensky and the Ukrainian bourgeoisie are starving the people and putting the nation up for a fire sale

The masses in Kyiv are taking to the streets!

For committees of workers and soldiers to take charge of the war, defeat the invasion, and ensure that Ukraine’s wealth belongs to the people!

The kinglet Zelensky—along with his puppets, such as Kyiv mayor Klitschko, and generals who have never seen battle—are attacking and starving the people, making life unbearable for the exploited, while bestowing even more wealth upon the oligarchs and those who exploit the masses.

While the butcher Putin continues his relentless massacre of the Ukrainian people and his occupation of more than 20% of the nation’s territory, Zelensky and his cronies are putting the country up for sale to the highest bidder. They are allowing US and European imperialist pirates to carve up the spoils, effectively betraying the national struggle—a struggle in which it is the workers who are giving their lives.

Putin is already striking a deal with Trump to hand the Nord Stream II gas pipeline over to US imperialism—severing Russia’s ties with Europe and cutting off the supply of cheap gas, thereby plunging the Old Continent into a total crisis. Meanwhile, the masses in Kyiv and across Ukraine go without gas or electricity most days, on the eve of a harsh winter.
The exploited of Kyiv are taking to the streets!

For committees of workers and rank-and-file soldiers to take control of the war and defeat Moscow’s occupation!

We must unite the Ukrainian working class—from the Donbas to Kyiv!
The Russian working class, which has begun to confront Putin with the cry "Down with the Tsar!", must join its struggle with that of its Ukrainian brothers and sisters!

Open the way for the revolution!

For an independent, Soviet Ukraine!
