He would be 36 years old if the russian army hadn’t killed him while he participated in the Ukrainian resistance on 11 November 2023. Many activists who participated with him in struggles in Calais, France, knew him as Joy. He carried this Joy in the battlefields here and previously in Rojava, and comrades remember him…

We’ve heard this so many times. So many times we’ve had to explain that the war is a horrible tragedy for everyone living in Ukraine, and more than anything we want to achieve peace. Sustainable and fair peace. But here’s the key reason that prevents that: the Russian Federation, which continues to capture Ukrainian territories…

We, the Solidarity Collectives, call on you to fight for mutual aid against imperialist and reactionary state or para-state policies.  Today, we see the US administration implementing far-right policies and using Ukraine as a bargaining chip in domestic games.

In late January we called on our comradely initiatives and activist groups to hold events to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We are grateful to everyone who reacted to it or decided to organise events to support Ukrainian resistance independently. It is nice to see that, unlike volatile politicians, genuine…

Solidarity Collectives is starting a series of publications about soldiers wounded during this war. We asked our fighters about their experiences with treatment, thoughts on trauma, rehabilitation, and return to duty. How’s the support system changing? Is it addressing real needs? In conditions where the government is giving injured soldiers less and less choice, there…
