Russia Ukraine war, page-646

"Socialist organisations need to move the the present and accept that Russia is run by an iron fisted, fascist oligarchy."

"The Putin regime has no progressive response to the aggression that increasingly follows the lines of the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union by the Nazi Wehrmacht. It represents the interests of a corrupt oligarchy, which has amassed enormous fortunes since the Stalinist restoration of capitalism, and also, with its reactionary nationalism and militarism, it is further increasing the danger of war."

Germany is playing an ever greater role in NATO’s aggressive buildup against Russia, increasingly threatening a third world war.

In the past few weeks and days, the conflict has continued to escalate. The United States and NATO are working systematically to launch a war against Moscow under the fabricated pretext of an alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The imperialist powers are implementing the program of their fascist collaborators in Ukraine.
Oleh Tyahnybok, a member of Ukraine’s parliament and leader of the neo-Nazi Svoboda party, said earlier this month that Russia would have to be “dismembered” and divided into “20 nation-states” to bring Crimea back to Ukraine.
Tyahnybok was already one of Steinmeier’s closest allies in 2014.
