Editor's Note - NM: This site firmly maintains its position about the imperialist character of the war in Ukraine, which is waged between two major imperialist blocs, the Euro-Atlantic one (NATO,USA, EU, Ukraine) and the emerging Eurasian one (capitalist Russia, China and her allies). Within this context, we refrain from publishing statements/declarations or articles from bourgeois state/governmental sources involved in this matter. The text below is an exception that mainly serves historical purposes. All articles on the war can be found in the following tags: Ukraine War and Russia-Ukraine War.
