[WSMDiscuss] Ukraine: How "Peace" is desecrated by a section of the Left

[Sukla Sen]

<<At the invitation of the Italian groups Rifondazione, Potere Al Popolo,
MainfestA and Dema, this new mostly west European alliance is calling to
block arms deliveries to the Ukrainian resistance, stop all sanctions
against Russia, and for a peace agreement that makes no demands on Russia.

The general aim is to “raise the voices of those who call for a Europe not
submitted to the military objectives of NATO.” The organisers call for the
dissolution of NATO (but not the Russian dominated Collective Security
Treaty Organisation).

The participants do not call for any aid of any kind to Ukraine, and make
no demands of any kind on Russia.

Today’s conference platform includes a Russian, but no Ukrainian.

The proposed alliance is worse than the Transform Europe manifesto of 22
February. That document at least called for an immediate ceasefire, and the
withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. Neither of these demands is
included in this new initiative.

The proposed alliance does not call for abolition of Ukraine’s
unsustainable and illegitimate debt to Russian and Western creditors. That
demand has been raised by a wide range of progressive initiatives,
including some of those who share the proposed alliance’s alignment with
other Russian objectives and priorities.>>
