Translated "Avante!" article by Luis Carapinha, Member of the PCP International Department
Towns and villages round the Don bay are under fire, destroyed by the Ukraine government aviation and artillery, in power, with the USA and EU support. The last time this situation took place in Donbas, was at time of the German Nazi invasion and occupation, during World War II. Seven decades upon Donbas and Ukraine’s liberation from Fascism by the Soviet army, the events reversed in this criminal war, massively silenced by the powerful media.
Currently and upon more than three months after the brutal military attack, of the so-called Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO), the installed coup junta, in Kiev, has been over confident. In the near future , one ought to know if it weren’t the liberal-fascist power‘s false euphoria. But for the moment, it seems evident that, contrarily to the initiative loss signals in some of the battle fronts, the Porochenko’s puppet government military campaign has won new stamina , specially after the tragedy of the Malayan Airline fall in the Donetsk steppes, on July 17th last ( once again a Malayan airline Boeing…). The provoked airline fall was equally used to strike an incisive attack on the political-diplomatic and misinformation fronts.
About flight MH17 sinister story, all points out that one is in the presence of one more abominable provocation, which proves what the USA imperialism and the great capital strategists are ready to perform - both in Ukraine and throughout the world - in order to maintain the planetary hegemony within an insurmountable system in decay.
Pressures and threats on Russia and, namely, on its president, have been escalating and reaching very dangerous levels. Upon the coup d’état last February, Ukraine jumped unto the frontline of the aggressive policy, targeted against Russia. In Washington and in the Triad world architecture capitals, the deep objective of destabilizing Russia is not hindered, through a game of weaknesses and structural contradictions of the Russian capitalism structure. The Maidan’s (from Kiev) triumph is also a decisive step towards the Russian Maidan, an eagerly awaited moment by the Russian fifth column and disciples ( even if not assumed) from the Gaidar school, which fills the power corridors amid the world’s greatest country.
In addition to the military campaign amid the mining and heavily industrialized region of Donbas, the Junta illegitimate power enhances political repression and the persecutory via against all the opposition minds. The Neo-Fascist pilot-project for a nationalist, ethnic, and culturally purified Ukraine, under the insane USA strategic agenda and delivered to the EU supra-national jurisdiction and unequal treaties - for the rejoice of the great monopolies ( and certainly of a number of local oligarchs) - and currently does not coadunate with the maintenance of political freedoms and the bourgeois formal democratic model. Therefore, trampling multiplies regarding fundamental freedoms and the campaign to illegalize the UCP intensifies, being accused of subversive activity by the coup followers.
The anti-democrat tendency and the aggression war against Donbas ( a carnage, which Kiev invokes the territorial unity defence and irrevocably dug by the reactionary coup last February) are inseparable from the social and economic new offensive the Ukrainian government carefully applies, under the IMF orders and the promised “loans” coming from Washington and Brussels. Therefore, a new privatization assault was announced with the purpose of ending what is left in the state hands, including strategic sectors, untouched till the present.
Within the torn apart Donbas, this is the “game”. It is vital not to loose sight of class dimension, which has been driven along all the Ukrainian conflict development. And to be seriously considered by all the consequent and truly anti-Fascist forces, along this great battle of an unknown ending.
