Statement on Military Operations in Ukraine - What do the other parties and organizations say?

(People's Socialist Party of Mexico)

We refuse to equate Russia with the most vicious US imperialists and NATO imperialism

Statement on the military operation in Ukraine

As our previous statement argued, the campaign maintained by the Ukrainian government since 2014 against the Lugansk and Donetsk Republics could and did ultimately cause a larger scale conflict. However, it should be noted that this is not the first war caused by the reckless aspiration of Western powers to expand NATO to the borders with the Russian Federation. Already in 2008 Georgia’s unilateral aggression against Abkhazia and South Ossetia, sponsored by NATO, led to unnecessary bloodshed where the only loser was the civilian population, and politically, the Georgian state.

This lesson was ignored by the EU, the USA and NATO as they continued their course of war clash with the Russian Federation, trying to impose a unilateral agenda ignoring the security guarantees demanded by that country. Ukraine’s refusal to carry out the constitutional changes envisaged in the Minsk agreements for the access of the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics to autonomy within Ukraine, the constant indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population of these republics, as well as the refusal to declare Ukraine’s neutral status, have finally led to the escalation of the conflict.

From a dialectical perspective, the beginning of the Russian military operation on Ukrainian territory represents the unavoidable qualitative leap that follows the previous quantitative changes manifested in the aforementioned background. The Popular Socialist Party of Mexico refuses to equate Russia and its actions with those of the imperialist bloc commanded by the USA and flanked by the EU and NATO, which constitute the sharpest and most aggressive form of imperialism in our days.

For these reasons, the Popular Socialist Party of Mexico declares that:

We reject the reckless aspirations of the Ukrainian government, sponsored by its American and European partners to include Ukraine in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that led to open war.

We declare that NATO’s rejection of any dialogue to negotiate a satisfactory solution to the Russian Federation’s demands for security guarantees has de facto nullified any possibility of implementing the Minsk agreements.

We do not endorse the military operation; however, we will not fall into the game of condemning Russia and equating it with the imperialist forces led by the U.S. and its European partners.

We reject the interference policies of foreign powers that seek to carry out «color revolutions» or soft coups in other countries, such as the one that occurred in 2014 in Ukraine, which is in fact the origin of this entire conflict.

But above all and most importantly, we appeal:

To the peaceful resolution of the conflict and we stand in solidarity with the working peoples of all the peoples affected by it, with the conviction that history is made by them and not by individuals.

For friendship among peoples and proletarian internationalism!

Ukraine - Statement by the National Secretariat of the Communist Party of Argentina

We repudiate the provocations of the US, NATO and the position of the Argentine government on the crisis in Ukraine

The Communist Party of Argentina rejects the imperialist policies of the United States and the expansion of NATO towards Eastern Europe and particularly on the border with Russia, an expansion that we can also verify in the South Atlantic with the case of the Malvinas Islands, which It has put world peace and the future of humanity at risk.

Russia's recognition of the sovereignty of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics is being used as an excuse by the US and NATO, to justify provocations against Russia and as it does throughout the world, supporting and organizing the pro-Nazi far-right in Ukraine, where the Communist Party is also banned.

The current Ukrainian government has made this country one of the poorest in Europe and has silenced, with the complicity of the US and Europe, the attacks suffered by the populations of Donetsk and Lugansk in recent years.

The United States, as the head of a capitalist system in crisis, seeks to sustain its questionable hegemony, its flawed unipolar model, with provocations, destabilizations and military interventions, as it has done constantly throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. This strategy is not alien to the manipulation carried out through the media and the falsification of history that has led to this situation.

Latin America and the Caribbean can provide ample examples of these interventionist policies carried out by the US and its allies through, for example, unilateral sanctions, destabilizing actions and the occupation of the Malvinas Islands by Great Britain.

The position of the Argentine government, calling on Russia to "cease military actions in Ukraine" is nothing more than a dangerous and growing alignment with the policies of the United States and the international organizations that that country controls, as happens in the negotiations and conditions imposed by the IMF.

Let us defend the rights of peoples to live in peace.

Let us reject the militaristic and interventionist policy of the US and NATO

Solidarity with the peoples of Donetsk and Luhansk.
