"A U.N. human rights commission has documented hundreds of instances of Russian drone pilots targeting civilians in the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine, and concluded that they amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes."

This campist leftism is politically and morally bankrupt - and anachronistic now that Trump's US is aligned with Russia. All imperialisms and occupations should be resisted, and certainly the racist, genocidal Russian empire.
"Putin is a dictator, a gangster, and there are war crimes that have been committed, but Zelenskyy isn't a friend of the working class either." @zarahsultana says all efforts need to be put in to ending the war in Ukraine, not pumping money into arms manufacturers.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left 🧵 https://t.co/mvnpyYxQ2f

She was elected on a manifesto supporting NATO and Ukraine - she's an imposter and should stand for re-election on a clear Putinist platform 🤮

This is so true. In Ireland, the amorally selective 'anti-warism' & 'anti-imperialism' of the combined parties of the self-proclaimed 'left' leaves authentic leftists who believe in UNIVERSAL human rights politically homeless.
@zarahsultana This kind of campism is inhuman, and has destroyed the left.

Combined efforts of a billionaire & some self aggrandising Yahoos, steered by Tufton Street, make UK dangerous for a tiny minority When inflated egos & inflating hate combine in a profitable enterprise, this is the result, felt by vulnerable individuals every moment of every day
In @yougov polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people.

What was done in #Yarmouk
The Yarmouk Camp, nestled in the heart of Syria’s capital, Damascus, when besieged by Assad’s regime and Iranian militias, will forever stand as a lasting testament to one of the darkest humanitarian tragedies of our modern era. We will never forget the deadly famine endured by

Call it what it is, to frame the Russian invasion of Ukraine as "Russian and Ukrainian working classes killing each other", rather than Russians marching into Ukraine to murder Ukrainians who are defending themselves, is an objectively morally repugnant argument to make.

I fear that the reality that is unfolding in El Fasher will be worse then anything we've seen in Sudan these past 2.5 years, possibly these past 20 years. The entire war in Darfur has been building up to this point, this climax of bloodshed.

Yesterday was 300 days since Dr Hussam Abu Safiya was taken from Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza by Israeli forces. Around the world, we refuse to look away. We refuse to be silent. Join us in demanding his freedom. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

#Syria: new chess game release - Captagon edition. The shipment was seized at the Nasib border crossing with Jordan and was likely intended to be smuggled into KSA.

An additional point: as well as talking to Ukrainian trade unionists, socialists, etc, Sultana, Corbyn et al could try speaking to Russian socialists and anti-imperialists, who also condemn Russia's war and support Ukraine. But that seems to be too much for them too!

The idea that the only beneficiaries of Ukrainians resisting invasion are Western arms companies is absurd and shameful. It is another way of saying, again, that whether Ukraine maintains its independence or is subjugated and crushed is a matter of indifference...

As Sultana and co know very well, it is perfectly possible to support a people's struggle for national freedom while opposing the govt or political leadership currently at the head of that struggle. They do not apply this here for a simple reason - they do not support Ukraine.

The reality is that Sultana and co are not actually very interested in workers' rights and struggles in Ukraine. Talking about Zelensky's anti-worker policies is just a way of expressing their hostility to Ukraine's rights.

If anyone was wondering why Catherine Connolly kept Clare Daly and Mick Wallace well away from her campaign, Mick has shown them why.

Austria is a neutral state. Austria sees Russia.
“In a nod to Russia’s war in Ukraine, Vienna will, by 2032, more than double its defence spending to 2 per cent of gross domestic product from 0.8 per cent now”
