Translated "Avante!" article by Luis Carapinha, Member of the PCP International Department
Ukraine’s situation remains precarious and uncertain, upon more than a month after the Maidan coup d’état perpetration, in Kiev, where - and one ought to recall - might be the worst Neo-Fascism irruption, in the last decades. Ever since, the USA responsible and the EU governments, have never stopped giving account on international law, sovereignty and territorial integrity, including the Brussels directorate. But one ought not to be under illusions: those who point out the accusing finger unto Russia regarding the Crimea “annexation”, are the very same who, tirelessly, instigated the division and the tension escalade within Ukraine, counting on the most backward Ukrainian nationalist forces, and pushing the country forward, towards fracture and the abyss.
The same who, during the last 20 years, proceed the NATO cavalcade towards the east and develop the anti-missile shield project, in order to decapitate Russia’s (and China’s) nuclear dissuasion capacity, jeopardizing the world’s security. Those who, systematically violate and trample on the UN’s Charter and the Security Council’s resolutions. It is enough to recall Yugoslavia’s aggression and dismantlement and the further Kosovo’s secession from Serbia. Imperialism, forwardly and consciously, has used all means to open Pandora’s box, in Ukraine. Financing and organizing Neo-Fascist armed groups, insisting in defiance, has operated as an elephant in a porcelain shop.
The concern is currently to carry out the coup to the end and ensure the puppet power in Kiev. Moreover the heavy economic (and social) account is on the table and the IMF bailout operation is in progress.
To legitimate the February 22 / 23th coup and impose the acceptance of the new power in East and South Ukraine, is the supreme objective, expected to be concluded with the taking place of the announced presidential elections, in May 25th. Organizations, such as OSCE, always smoothly, concerning the establishing of parameters in its democracy task regarding electoral acts - and according to the mentioned conveniences, - do not present signs of restlessness. But how is it possible to ensure the taking place of clean and fair elections, when in half Ukraine, authority of the illegitimate power is not accepted? And the pro-Fascist armed bands carry on operating unpunished ( last Monday, members of the Right-Wing Sector assaulted the Judge Congress premises, in Kiev, having attacked their president) and the political threats stand together with the anti-communist persecution? Even upon the bombastic liquidation of one of the most troublesome figures - and most disgusting - coming from the Right Wing Sector, the truth is that the Neo-Fascist paramilitary organization, catapulted by Maidan, turned into a respectful political force and its leader, Iároch, is currently, a registered presidential candidate. In the centre of Kiev, the police finally evacuated one of its armed holes, with the absence of imprisonments. The sect’s members were sent to a military training camp, outside Kiev, thickening the rebuilt National Guard ranks. An opportune measure, at the moment Kiev has declared the beginning of an “anti-terrorist” operation against the separatist forces.
The Russian foreign minister’s statement, in April 7th, underlines the need to commission the National Guard unto the East of Ukraine, together with the Right-Wing forces and USA mercenaries, issued from the Greystone private agency.
It seems the coup d’état shock troops might reveal to be very useful in order to cease the discontent which rages throughout the country. Additionally, when the Ukrainian, await for the torrent of Iatseniúk’s promised austerity, the prime-minister in office, in loyalty to the IMF’s demands ( expected to be postponed for after May25th). Meanwhile, NATO announced the suspension of the relations with Russia. The G7+1 turned out to be G8+1. The USA and the EU threaten to widen the sanctions against Moscow and the warning comes from Washington: the escalade within Ukraine ought to compromise the world’s economy. Cynicism beats all records concerning the crisis in Ukraine, with no visible ending.
