Remember - Odessa 2014
Please support: Statement on the war in Ukraine
We are now witnessing heavy military clashes between Russia and
Ukraine. Moscow speaks of a "special operation" in Ukraine. Moscow's
declared main motive is therefore the demilitarization and
denazification of Ukraine, its neutrality and a guarantee that Ukraine
will not join NATO. Moscow has explicitly and repeatedly stated that it
is not fighting the civilian population. The West, on the other hand,
speaks of a war of aggression by Russia against the people of Ukraine. Russian reporting is censored in many Western countries, and Russia in turn restricts Western broadcasters. Weapons from NATO countries continue to be delivered to Ukraine.
We are deeply concerned about the dramatic events in Ukraine and advocate a peaceful solution.
Our demand must now be:
Cessation of hostilities as soon as possible!
NATO out of Ukraine!
No more arms deliveries to Ukraine!
No NATO membership of Ukraine!
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Russia withdrew from all
Warsaw Pact countries, pledging that NATO would not expand into Eastern
Europe. This was also the basis of Russia's agreement to the
reunification of Germany, which Russia agreed to on precisely this
condition. However, contrary to its promises, the West has continued to
expand its influence to the East and more and more countries have been
allowed to become NATO members. Major U.S. and NATO maneuvers took
place on Russia's borders and almost all arms control treaties were
canceled by the US.
Western networks orchestrated a coup in Kyiv in 2014, in which openly
fascist groups took part. The Ukrainian coup government, dominated by
right-wing extremists, harassed the Russian-born minority by banning
the Russian language, among other things. There were extremely violent
attacks. This resulted in Crimea's secession to Russia, legitimized by
a vote in Crimea in which a large majority voted to join the Russian
Federation. As self-protection against Russophobia in Kyiv, the
self-proclaimed People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk were also
proclaimed.
The inhabitants of the people's republics were declared terrorists by
Kyiv and a war was started with massive artillery shelling by the
Ukrainian army and right-wing volunteer brigades against the breakaway
regions of Donetsk and Lugansk. To date, this has claimed over 14,000
lives, mostly among the Russian-speaking population of Donbass,
especially at the height of the conflict before the Minsk-2 accords.
Even after Minsk-2, the government of Ukraine continued to wage war
against the population of the Donbass, tolerated by the guarantor
powers Germany and France, and heavily armed by NATO.
Moscow has now recognized the independence of the People's Republics.
This was done on the basis of a recommendation from the Russian
parliament to President Putin. Not without repeatedly urging the
fulfillment of the conditions of the Minsk-2 agreement, which is
binding under international law, since the end of 2015 and not without
repeatedly asking the government in Kyiv to make it clear that it does
not want to join NATO. This was repeatedly rejected by Kyiv and by NATO.
Most recently, the President of Ukraine, Selensky, provoked even
further when he even expressed his intention to make Ukraine a nuclear
power at the security conference in Munich in February. Massively
intensified new attacks against the people's republics in the Donbass
and preparations to conquer these areas further aggravated the
situation.
Only after that Moscow started the military operation in Ukraine. After
a long period of diplomatic initiatives by Russia to resolve the
conflict in Ukraine and with the West, including insisting on the
implementation of the Minsk II agreement. This obliged the Ukraine,
among other things, to enter into direct negotiations with the
political leadership of the republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The
hoped-for relaxation through the Minsk-2 agreement did not materialize
from the start in 2015 because the Ukrainian leadership repeatedly
broke the agreement, and NATO was not interested in a peaceful solution.
Russia's offensive is said to have forestalled an imminent offensive by
the Ukrainian army according to Russian media reports.
As a reaction from almost the entire West, we are now experiencing an
extreme wave of punitive sanctions against Russia, as have been used so
far against Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Yemen and other
countries. This corresponds to warfare using economic power and is
illegal. There have even been isolated calls for facilitating the
recruitment of mercenaries in the fight against Putin, or for the
Russian president to be assassinated.
Russia has proved that, together with China, it is the power that is
ready to resolutely oppose the aggressive provocations of the West and
especially NATO.
We deeply regret the situation in Ukraine, which is not in the interest
of any party, and we particularly regret all the casualties and the
situation of refugees in this war. The military conflicts must be ended
as quickly as possible. Ukraine should serve as a bridge of
communication between East and West and not as a front line for
geopolitical rivalries.
The EU, NATO and Russia must negotiate together and find a solution
that takes into account the security interests of all countries. The
security of one country must not come at the expense of the security of
another country.
Ukraine must declare itself neutral!
Return to negotiations in the spirit of Minsk-2 Treaty!

No
War against the Donbass and against Russia!
Stop demonizing Russia! (Statement January 25, 2022)
Against
the background of the Ukraine crisis, the demonization of Russia is
intensifying and is now threatening to openly escalate.
Russia
is being threatened with ever-tougher sanctions, including the
disruption of trade relations concerning gas and oil. Payment
transactions are being threatened. Further, actual military conflict
has become a possibility.
The
West uses the narrative of accusing Russia of preparing for war and
planning to invade Ukraine. It argues that Russia threatens Ukraine if
it moves its troops on its own territory, something that is constantly
promoted in the Western media as a sign of Russia’s aggressiveness.
Only a few warning voices can be heard.
In
fact, the United States, Canada, Great Britain and the EU are sending
more and more military units to Ukraine and along the entire western
border of Russia. That is why Moscow is now demanding concrete military
and legal security guarantees from the USA and NATO.
Part
of the crisis manifests itself in the difficult economic and political
situation in Ukraine. Russia is demanding the establishment of
substantial neutrality in the country. The Minsk II Agreement, which is
recognized under international law, provides a pathway to a nonviolent
and lasting solution to the intra-Ukrainian conflict.
The
Western guarantor nations of Minsk-II, Germany and France, must finally
demand that Ukraine negotiate with representatives of the Donbass
republics with the aim of permanently resolving the conflict there by
granting them domestic autonomy.
The
USA, Britain and their allies must immediately end their provocations,
including the training of Ukraine’s military, as well as halting arms
sales and shipments to the country.
We
call for an immediate de-escalation of the USA-EU-NATO crisis before it
is too late. The threat to world peace on Russia’s western border must
be addressed by the United Nations and subjected to the provisions of
the UN Charter and other elements of international law.
We
appeal to the German government to stand by its refusal to provide arms
to Ukraine. We appeal to Germany to finally advocate at the Minsk
negotiations that the intra-Ukrainian conflict parties should begin
serious negotiations with each other.
We
call on the USA and NATO to address Russia’s security needs under the
1997 NATO-Russia Act, which states that the right of self-determination
of the participating states must not be at the expense of other
participants.
We
urge you to support and distribute this appeal. International
solidarity is of the utmost importance, especially against the
background of the coronavirus crisis.
