Russia out of Ukraine!

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which had begun in 2014. The invasion has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths on both sides, and instigated Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II.The war has divided Leftists – there’s no real, united movement against the war. Most of us are calling for a peace of sorts. But some of us are calling for a ceasefire, while others of us are calling for the right of Ukrainians to defend themselves with arms – nuclear if necessary. Others still say that this is a NATO and US proxy war against Russia, and Russia has a right to defend itself against the encroachment of NATO.Today’s program will bring you one thread of these arguments about the war in Russia Ukraine. An organisation, Ukraine Solidarity Network, organised a public panel meeting on the 1 year anniversary of Russia’s invasion. The panel was facilitated by Ramah Kudaimi, who introduces the whole panel and the format of the discussion. However, on today’s program, I only broadcasting the voices of women.
