The bloodshed and foreign intervention must end in Ukraine

The blood of the Ukrainian people continues to be shed incessantly and the country is experiencing a deep civil division. Regardless of our long-standing position on the need for further democratic changes in the country, what is currently developing in the Ukraine is in fact an attempted coup d’état instigated and abetted by the West against the lawfully elected government of the country in order to remove the country from Russian influence and integrate it into the EU-Atlantic block.

The protagonists of the extremist anti-government activity also include neo-Nazi organizations, but also ultra-right-wing parties such as the anti-Semitic “Svoboda”, the leader of which the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland – according to her conversations that were leaked – has assigned a role for and a say in the new regime they are planning. That is to say, the USA is willing to join forces even with the ultra-right forces of Ukraine to promote their plans, which also involve the IMF’s arrival in the country…

The EU is also acting along similar lines, intervening directly in the internal affairs of Ukraine, siding with the opposition and announcing the imposition of sanctions against the Ukrainian government. AKEL urges the Cypriot government to dissociate itself from this logic that adds fuel to the fire.

The bloodshed and foreign intervention must end. The people of Ukraine are the only ones who have the right without interferences to decide what the future of their country will be and what political and economic relations Ukraine will have with its neighbours, none of whom befits idealizations.
