A summer in Ukraine

NPA-A Ukraine Solidarity Intervention Group — 2026-09-07T10:22:04Z

Despite an increasingly trying war, Ukrainian society continues to hold on and fight. On the front, the Ukrainian army has managed to break through enemy lines in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. All these advances are in addition to the 540 km² already gained this summer. But a mass mobilization is being prepared in Russia, although it is officially denied on the eve of the Duma elections, from 18-20 September. It could mean several hundred thousand new recruits, to compensate for the enormous human losses on the front. More than 110,000 young Russians have left for Georgia to escape it.

Anti-militarism that forgets those under attack is no anti-militarism at all

Collective — 2026-06-17T15:28:08Z

“Against the arms race as a profit-making machine. Against turning a blind eye to Russian imperialism. For a left-wing peace policy that integrates self-defense and social control. No weapons for profit, but weapons for those under attack. Peace means an end to aggression”
