Ukraine - December 10, 2023
Almost two years after Moscow's criminal invasion of Ukraine
Zelensky, hand in hand with NATO, has surrendered Ukraine
to the partition, destruction and death imposed by Putin
Only the Ukrainian working class, uniting its ranks and taking the leadership of the war into its own hands, can defeat Putin and break with the IMF that plunders the nation!
With hundreds of thousands of dead, brutal destruction of buildings, hospitals, schools, infrastructure of the nation, Ukraine is entering the harsh winter after almost two years of enduring Putin's criminal invasion. We are facing what the bourgeois press is already calling a "chronic war". But the reality is that in Ukraine the partition of the nation has been established through war trenches.
The lackey Zelensky promised that hand in hand with NATO he would liberate Ukraine from the invader, that he would face the mother of all counter-offensives... but what came for the masses was the redoubling of their sufferings, because together with NATO, Zelensky handed over the nation to be massacred and partitioned, with Putin controlling Crimea and a region of the Donbass, i.e. a portion of Donetsk and a portion of Lugansk, by means of his guns.
The aim of imperialism was never for Ukraine to defeat Putin, so the bullets, weapons and vehicles provided by imperialism to Ukraine were defensive (and to be paid for).
US imperialism has handed over Ukraine as a pawn for Putin to massacre it while he wears himself out in this attempt, without emerging victorious either.
And while Putin slaughters the Ukrainian working class, destroying the nation, Zelensky has only deepened the attack on the working class in the rear as well: by decree, he established that, even in the middle of the war and leaving their lives on the front, the workers could be dismissed without cause and without compensation, he authorized the bosses to stop paying wages under the excuse of the war... That is, in the middle of the war he imposed the worst of the labor reforms attacking the workers, a precarization that no government before had managed to impose in Ukraine, with a minimum monthly wage that barely reaches 80 dollars and an average monthly wage of skilled workers that does not reach 300 dollars.
Today Zelensky, this puppet of imperialism’s, is visiting Argentina to participate in the inauguration of Milei, who is promising blood, sweat and tears for the Argentine working class.
Zelensky and Milei are two hound dogs of imperialism, and the whips of the IMF to redouble both the attack on the working class and the plunder of the nation, and even the final colonization of these nations. No wonder, then, that both leaders are open and fervent supporters of the imperialist-armed and financed fascist Zionist state of Israel, Palestine occupant.
Of course, as we can see, the costs of the war are being paid by the Ukrainian working class. Not only because they are the ones who are killed, but also because, as we have said, the Zelensky government has imposed brutal conditions of exploitation on them. But in addition, this lackey of imperialism and NATO has more than doubled the Ukrainian foreign debt. Shortly after the Russian invasion began, Ukraine's debt rose from 90 billion dollars to 130 billion dollars, and today it is around 200 billion dollars, almost 80% of its GDP. This war, which has already claimed more than 500,000 dead, is a tragedy for the masses but a big business for imperialism, which is deepening its plunder of the nation, which it has tied in triple chains, with a usurious debt, while it rejoices in the multi-million dollar business of "chronic war" and "reconstruction".
That is to say, the more Putin massacred, the more the Ukrainian nation was torn apart and the more the Ukrainian nation has been subjected to imperialism.
With the leading of the lackey Zelensky it is impossible to win the war and defeat the invader!
Only the working class, unifying its ranks from Donbass to Kiev and taking the lead in the war, can defeat the invader and win liberation for Ukraine, by calling on the Russian working class to rise up to stop Putin and Moscow's invasion against oppressed Ukraine, and carrying out the program of social revolution.
It is necessary to conquer a revolutionary provisional government of the trade unions, soldiers' committees, factory committees and workers' and people's solidarity committees of the rear and refugees!
To break with the IMF and expropriate the expropriators, i.e., the banks, Cargill and Monsanto (which have grabbed keep for themselves the black soil land), and the factories, to put all the wealth of the nation at the service of defending it and defeating the occupier, and for the working class and the poor people to eat and live in dignity! There are the resources to conquer the arms and to unite the struggle for national liberation with the European and world working class!
The Russian workers who refuse by the thousands to go to war and face imprisonment, repression and the consequences of a war that starves and kills the people, and the Russian women's movement who, as in Ukraine, demand an end to forced conscription, are the great ally of the Ukrainian working class suffering the massacre perpetrated by Putin. The Russian soldiers must fraternize at the front with the Ukrainian workers and go over to fight alongside them to defeat the invader!
The European working class, as in the nations of the former USSR, also has a stake in preventing the Ukraine from being defeated. It is there, as in Syria and Palestine, that imperialism seeks to chastise and teach the world working class a lesson.
European general strike! Let’s paralyze Putin's war machine! Weapons for Ukraine!
A workers', soviet and independent Ukraine is the only way out to win bread, land and national liberation, so that Ukraine will not be a colony under the tutelage of imperialism, plundered and oppressed by it and split by the US and Putin.
For the military defeat of Putin and his invading troops! Putin out of Crimea and from all of Ukraine!
Down with NATO and imperialist Maastricht!
For a workers', Soviet and independent Ukraine, from Kiev to the Donbass and Crimea!
For the United Socialist States of Europe!
