Ukraine and the Growing Anti-War Movement: Lessons after 2 Years

CovertAction Bulletin

February 24 marked the second anniversary of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine. With tens of thousands dead and more wounded on both sides and no end in sight to the conflict, it’s important to remember that the history of this conflict did not begin on February 24, 2022, nor on February 22, 2014, when the Russian military took control of the Crimean Peninsula.

We discuss this and other lessons of the last two years, including why there cannot be “unity” between the left and fascist forces who pretend to be part of the anti-war movement, and the spread of anti-imperialist sentiment across the US as Israel continues to commit genocide in Gaza.

We’re joined by Walter Smolarek, producer with The Socialist Program.
