[oberlist] RUSSIA, STOP THE WAR AGAINST UKRAINE!

[Vasyl Cherepanyn]

*RUSSIA, STOP THE WAR AGAINST UKRAINE!*


During last months the Ukrainians on all squares were struggling for
establishing democracy in their country. The protest called Maidan faced
unprecedental police violence, repressions and terror organized by the
state aparatus of Ukraine. The protesters were beaten, abducted, tortured,
hundreds of them were killed by the special police forces, criminals and
snipers. Millions of the Ukrainians raised against the corrupted oligarchic
bloody regime of Yanukovych, which was supported by the Kremlin, and they
won.

This genuine emancipative peoples' uprising was fundamentally European --
the very idea of Europe was reclaimed on Maidan. Demos of Ukraine was
fighting against neo-feudal oligarchy and proved to the whole world that
the real democracy is alive today. New Europe was born on Maidan -- Europe
of solidarity, dignity, self-organization and freedom.

On the 1st of March 2014 the Russian authorities officially declared an
armed invasion onto the Ukrainian territory. During last days the Russian
troops intervened into the Crimea, blocking the airports, media,
administrative buildings, settlements of the Ukrainian army and borders of
Ukraine. We are observing now an military counter-revolution as an answer
to the Ukrainian democratic revolution, the Russian putch conducted by the
fascist Putin's regime on the international scale.

*We* *demand from the Russian authorities to stop the armed invasion into
Ukraine and to withdraw the Russian troops from its territory! The right to
define the future destiny of Ukraine belongs to its citizens!*


*Please spread this appeal as much as possible*
