<br />
<em>We have to build solidarity campaigns but they have to be linked up with other solidarity campaigns to broaden the struggle. I think it would be nice if we flew the flag of Novorossiya together with the flag of Palestine, for example. Solidarity campaigns shouldn’t be isolated from one another, they have to be integrated. Non-military tasks are emerging, and doctors, engineers, solidarity workers and humanitarian programmes are needed, like in other places.<br />
<br />
People must go to the region to see how much damage has been caused by the war, and there must be material help provided, training and education and so on. We in Russia can help facilitate that. There are already volunteers from France and Spain but I don’t think more fighters are needed; rather, solidarity workers are needed, people who will help with reconstruction, especially as government troops are pushed away and areas are liberated.<br />
<br />
Going forward I think opolchenie must score more victories, and Russian society must develop more solidarity movements together with Western societies, which also have to do the same. I think we have to look at these events in the same way as we look at Palestine, for example. There are all sorts of contradictions inside the movement, just as in Palestine – it’s not a homogenous movement. Not every single element of the movement is progressive.<br />
<br />
The same is true in Novorossiya. It’s not a homogenous, progressive, revolutionary movement; it’s a coalition, which involves different elements. The movement started with people protecting the statues of Lenin, some of them fly red flags and so on but there are elements of Russian nationalism, and also there are more conservative elements who want Novorossiya to be like Ukraine before the crisis.</em>Infographic of Ukraine conflicthttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/104989#comment2995822014-09-13T00:13:54+00:00TThere's a good infographic of the military aspects of the Ukraine conflict over ...There's a good infographic of the military aspects of the Ukraine conflict over at: <a href="http://en.ria.ru/infographics/20140909/191902618/Prospects-Of-The-Conflict--In-Ukraines-Southeast.html" title="http://en.ria.ru/infographics/20140909/191902618/Prospects-Of-The-Conflict--In-Ukraines-Southeast.html">http://en.ria.ru/infographics/20140909/191902618/Prospe....html</a><br />
