Ukraine’s fight for self-determination

February 24, 2025 marks the third anniversary of Russia’s imperialist invasion of Ukraine. Ever since, the Ukrainian state and its working people have resisted and fought for their self-determination. While they received support from the U.S. and Europe, it came with a price tag of debt and neoliberal restructuring, and now the new Trump administration has suspended aid and aims to strike a peace deal with Russia behind Ukraine’s back.

Join us on Monday, February 24, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. ET
