Party statement:

 * Raise your voice to stop the war waged by imperialism against Ukraine!

* Condemns the irresponsible attitude of the Indian Government in not repatriating its citizens!

The conflicts between the imperialists, which lead humanity to destruction, intensify and the war against Ukraine begins. Russia and the United States have said they will not stop there. The Central Committee of our party calls on all who wish for the welfare of the world to make their voices heard and stop the war.

 We call on all oppressed sectors, people and democrats of the country to demand that the Government of India take all possible measures so that the Indians who are in Ukraine return safely.

 Russia has recognized Donetsk and Luhansk, in the eastern part of Ukraine, as independent governments and has decided to send troops to the area, exposing the political, geographical and economic conflict between the imperialists. Russian forces are not only infiltrating the eastern regions, but also attacking Ukraine from all directions and attacking the capital, kyiv. This is the first war in Europe since the end of the Cold War. These events have plunged the population of Europe, mainly that of Ukraine, into a state of extreme uncertainty. Stock markets around the world crashed. More than 20,000 Indians in Ukraine have been left homeless and worried.

The price of oil rose to $110 a barrel. It is expected to cross $150 in a few more days. This crisis is likely to hurt our country's economy. Along with the prices of gasoline and diesel, those of sunflower oil, wheat, aluminum and metals may also rise.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, the United States immediately broke its promise to Russia and began expanding NATO. The alliance, made up of 12 countries, has expanded to 30. After the Poland of the Warsaw Pact, Romania, the Czech Republic and Hungary were annexed. It later included Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania five years later. These countries are all neighbors of Russia. Then, in 2008, the United States announced that Georgia and Ukraine would join NATO. If Ukraine joined NATO, the alliance would be 500 kilometers closer to Moscow. The deployment of US missiles in Ukraine was very dangerous for Russia as it affected its dominance over the Black Sea. The United States continues to train and arm Ukrainian troops using NATO forces.

Russia has committed some acts of aggression to maintain its dominance over these regions. Putin sent troops to take control of Georgia in 2008 during infighting. He provided military support to separatists on the Ukrainian island of Crimea and made it part of RussiaRussia has also intervened in Belarus and the Caucasus and is increasing its influence in Asian countries.

Ukraine became part of Russia during the tsarist era by voluntarily joining the Soviet Union. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it became an independent nation. However, the eastern part of Ukraine has a large Russian population. Armed uprisings are taking place demanding to be independent territories. The Ukrainian army represses them. Ukraine was fighting against these armies with the help of Russia.

In 2014, Ukraine withdrew its troops. An agreement was reached between both parties in Minsk (Belarus). Ukraine did not respect the Minsk-1 agreement and invaded these territories again. The rebels defeated the Ukrainian army. France and Germany then intervened and signed the Minsk-2 agreement between Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine. According to the agreement, Donetsk and Luchshev became territories with special rights, but Ukraine is interfering with the autonomy of these regions with the help of NATO countries. When he decided to join NATO, the current war began.

Immediately after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, France, Germany, and Great Britain imposed key economic sanctions on RussiaGermany has suspended the Stemry-2 pipeline that cuts oil and gas from Russia to Germany. Western nations say the economic sanctions will apply to defense sectors, banks and billionaires close to Putin, but they are a heavy burden on the general public. The West hopes to plunge Russia into a crisis but Russia has decided to overcome economic sanctions with the help of China.

 Dear town!

The competition between the US, Britain, France, Germany and the Russian imperialists has finally led to war. This is causing great distress to the peoples of the world, especially the peoples of European countries. Humanity lost peace during the two world wars and the Cold War. Billions of lives were lost due to war hysteria. War situations and current tensions are causing serious damage to humanity. Wars are being waged to overcome a deep financial crisis. Economic, political and geographical dominance and conflicts end up leading to war. All the peoples of the world must condemn the war that the imperialists are waging against humanity.

Russia must stop the war against Ukraine and withdraw its troops from the eastern part of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government must immediately stop the war and implement the Minsk-2 agreement. Ukraine should not be part of NATO. All zones must be demilitarized.

The Government of India is a member of the US-led military alliance, the QUAD. Russia, for its part, has created a missile system with help. On the other hand, India talks about peace in Ukraine. These methods do not allow to overcome the war. The people must demand that the Government of India withdraw from the QUAD.

Although it was clear that war was going to be inevitable in Ukraine, the Indian government is not protecting Indian civilians. In the current circumstances, the Government of India has withdrawn from its embassy the support of the Indian citizens. Air India has raised fares three times. The government has announced that people will have to travel to neighboring countries on their own and will be airlifted from there. This can be very uncomfortable for people. The measures taken after the start of the war are not enough. The reckless attitude of the Indian government must be condemned.

We call on workers, peasants, students, employees, people of different ethnicities, religious minorities, peace lovers and the general public to fight against imperialism to stop the war in Ukraine immediately and protect the people, the land and the world. .
