Operation Solidarity – Day 82

to our friends,

here is another report on what we use some of your donations for:

We continue to support trade unions whose members have gone to the frontline. Operation Solidarity handed over four Wouxun 9D plus radios to fighters from the tram workers’ union in the town of Kamianske in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, which is part of the Free Trade Union of Railway Workers of Ukraine.

also there was a nice solidarity action in italy:

We will stay here in support of peace and all people suffering from war,” declared the Italian leftists who have taken over the V-A-C palace in Venice owned by Russian oligarch Leonid Mikhelson. He is known to own the Novatek gas corporation.

About 100 people blocked the palace to protest against the war in Ukraine launched by Putin’s regime.

Protesters raise slogans against all imperialists and for the confiscation of the assets of the Russian elite.

Operation Solidarity – Day 81

to our friends,

for today we have this contribution from vice about one of the beautiful soli actions that took place in london.

To kick 4 anarchists out of the occupied mansion of pro-Kremlin Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, London police carried out a special operation at a cost of £81,000.

On the 14th of March, anarchist squatters occupied a mansion linked to Oleg Deripaska. In a statement, the protesters said, «Russian oligarchs: You occupy Ukraine, we occupy you». They announced that the building was going to be used to open centres for refugees from Ukraine and people of all nationalities. But very soon the police carried out a massive operation to evict the anarchists, using 176 police officers, 9 police cars, a hoist and a helicopter.

VICE estimates the cost of such an operation to protect Deripaska’s mansion to be £81,112.10. Operation Solidarity have shared their thoughts with the British publisher on these funds, saying they could have been used to help a volunteer initiative in Ukraine.

Operation Solidarity – Day 79

to our friends,

we start today’s post with a tragic statistic:

The number of civilian victims in 2.5 months of a full-scale war has already exceeded the number of casualties in the eight years of war in Donbas.

This is evidenced by published UN data, which refers only to confirmed cases. In reality, this figure can be much higher and is growing each day.

Forward this to those who are still asking “where have you been for 8 years” but are not ready to condemn the Russian invasion.
