Drawing from experience of working alongside the military in Ukraine, this talk will explore how anarchists are taking the initiative by responding to geopolitical events, even if they end up in unlikely alliances.

Critical Solidarity During the War in Ukraine

After 3 and a half years of devastating war, antifascists and anarchists continue to organise the resistance against the Russian invasion in Ukraine. They lay down their lives for a country whose government they would disavow.

Drawing from experience of working alongside the military in Ukraine, this talk will explore how anarchists are taking the initiative by responding to geopolitical events, even if they end up in unlikely alliances. They provide a lesson that challenges ideological purity and shows how critical solidarity can be used in struggles, both global and closer to home.

We will also be collecting donations for the Solidarity Collectives, so any support for our comrades in Ukraine will be appreciated.
