\nAfter the 15-16 July international meeting in Milan, the undersigned organizations agreed on the following manifesto.<\/em>

\n\nThe Russian imperialism attacked Ukraine. Putin denied Ukraine the right to exist, he claimed that the independence of Ukraine given by the Bolsheviks deprived Russian from a part of its territory.

\n\nBeing faithful to the Bolshevik Party\u2019s program in Lenin\u2019s time, the signatory organizations reclaim the right of Ukraine to separation, and then to independence and to defense against the Russian imperialist attack. Neither the rule over Ukraine under the Czarist empire was defensible, nor the Russian imperialist attack can be defended by the revolutionaries now.

\n\nBlaming equally the attacker and the attacked, in the name of peace, plays into the Russian imperialism\u2019s interests.

\n\nPretending that it is an inter-imperialist war and advocating revolutionary defeatism amounts to bend reality and to fuel both the Russian imperialism and the other imperialisms\u2019 scams.

\n\nOpposing the right of Ukraine to independence does not serve the Ukrainian proletariat, it does not draw the revolution closer but it repels it, while it facilitates the hold of Zelensky, who forbids the oppositions parties and the strikes.

\n\nOpposing the right of Ukraine to independence does not serve the Russian proletariat and it diverts it from the fight against its own imperialism. Yet the Russian proletariat may potentially end the war, earn the democratic liberties and build fraternal relationships with the Russian state\u2019s national minorities and with Europe\u2019s and Asia\u2019a neighbouring populations.

\n\nAny workers\u2019 organization in Russia must take a stand for
