The Azov battalion did not appear out of nowhere; fascism has been the imperialist tool of choice in Ukraine since the 1930s.

Those who spread the lie that the conflict in Ukraine is an ‘interimperialist war’ are helping to demobilise the world’s most militant antiwar activists.

Ukraine’s new president is patently failing to live up to the peaceful hopes of the workers who elected him.

The west-backed coup leader has been ditched in favour of an actor/comedian whose agenda remains unclear.
