Month: April 2022

to our friends,

today is the 50th day of our (almost) daily reports – and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been active in one way or another all over the world. it always gives us strength and power when we see how many people support us. thank you! <3
and of course we hope that everyone will continue to do so… whether it is donations, actions in solidarity, info and discussion events or even spreading the message on the streets and on the internet. everything is needed and appreciated.

we also got a new motive which was sent to us. it shows something of the utopia we are fighting for – because even if we unfortunately need tanks against the russian aggression at the moment, we are fighting for a world without war, state and capital.

you can order the motive at black mosquito as shirt and sweatshirt and buy it at upcoming events of us in europe and the proceeds will be donated.

solidarity will win

to our friends,

Operation Solidarity returned to liberated cities in the Kyiv region for the third time. We sent help to the Humanitarian Headquarters of the Buchanska community in Belogorodec, and visited Borodianka. Rescuers are disassembling the collapsed houses, people are collecting miserable remains of what was left in their destroyed apartments. That’s what we had to see this day.

to our friends,

over the weekend, pro-russian car parades took place in various cities in germany. fortunately, they met with counter-protests, blockades and direct resistance in many cities. this is one way you can support us in a very practical way – no place for russian imperialism and its fans!

also, the war diary of a belarusian anarchist, which he keeps on telegram, has now been translated into english:
