KKE rejects EU Parliament's despicable resolution on financial and military support to Ukraine

In a despicable resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 19 September 2024, EU countries are requested to lift current restrictions hindering Ukraine from using Western weapons systems against military targets in Russia. The text, adopted with 425 votes in favor, 131 against and 63 abstentions, states that without lifting current restrictions, Ukraine cannot fully exercise its "right to self-defense " and remains exposed to attacks on its population and infrastructure.

The European Parliament Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) voted against the resolution, stating the following:

"With another very dangerous for the peoples resolution on the imperialist war between NATO and capitalist Russia, the European Parliament rushes to add more “fuel to the fire” of war, defiantly demanding by the EU member-states to “immediate withdraw restrictions on the use of western weapons system delivered to Ukraine against legitimate military targets on Russian territory.

Monument to hypocrisy is the fact that, while invoking “Ukraine's right to self-defense”, the resolution doesn't mention Kiev's intervention in Kursk, with the US, NATO, EU support, which constitutes a new escalation in the imperialist massacre.

The resolution even provides the control of the equipment's delivery to Ukraine, with instructions for the implementation of these plans towards the member states, concerning any delays, detailed up to the last... cartridge.

The monstrous armaments, sanctions, the 192 billion euros given to Ukraine so far by the EU, as well as the announcement of the Draghi report for another 500 million in the war industry over the next decade, are heavy burdens that are already being shouldered by the peoples, who pay with their blood the galloping cost of living, wild taxation, starvation wages, criminal cuts in Health, Education, Civil Protection, etc.

The KKE voted against the new despicable resolution and calls the people to strengthen their struggle, thus serving their own interests, for disengagement from the massacre where two camps of imperialists clash, slaughtering the people."
