What is the reality of Ukraine today? Is it a struggling democracy, as we are told by the corporate news media, or a corrupt, authoritarian regime that relies on openly fascist organizations for its survival? How and why did the war with Russia start? And how can we show real solidarity with the people of Ukraine?
This webinar, sponsored by the Odessa Solidarity Campaign, was broadcast live on May 2, 2024, the 10th anniversary of the Odessa Massacre. The webinar features four longtime U.S. antiwar activists, each of whom have traveled to Ukraine since the massacre and report on what they experienced. Since its first showing, the webinar has been viewed thousands of times. We welcome your comments, which can be added to the webinar’s Comment section, or sent to the OSC at: DefendersFJE@hotmail.com.
