Interesting commentary from an interview with an underground journal in Kharkov in Ukraine. Apart from socialists and a few others, there are not many who oppose this sordid capitalist war and its capitalist protagonists on both sides – imperialist Russia and its backers on the one hand and Ukraine and its own imperialist backers in the West.

And everyone understands this.”
