Stop the Kiev Regime’s Calls for the Murder of the Kononovitch Brothers!

The Politburo of the Party of Communists USA endorses the following statement from our French comrades in the Pole of Communist Revival in France (PRCF) concerning the imprisonment and endangerment of Ukrainians who are opposed to the current government in Kiev:

ALERT ANTINAZIE!

by the international commission of the PRCF and the JRCF commission – Joined by the Internationalist Committee for Class Solidarity

July 4, 2023 – To all sincere democrats and anti-fascists in France and elsewhere

We have just received a very worrying message from the Kononovitch brothers, two leaders of the Ukrainian communist youth movement. The message states that the pro-Nazi regime of Kiev supported by NATO is preparing to carry out or enable their murder after having placed them under house and arrest and tortured them for months.

Not only must we save the lives of these young people who are accused only of being guilty of a crime of opinion; we must also denounce anti-communism as the main means of rehabilitating Nazism and the extreme right, and to disguise the imperialist war as a “fight for democracy.” We ask all recipients of this message to address the following message to the Ukrainian Embassy:

STOP THE KIEV BANDERIST REGIME’S CALLS FOR THE MURDER OF THE KONONOVITCH BROTHERS, HEROIC LEADERS OF THE PERSECUTED J.C. OF UKRAINE.

SAVE THEIR LIVES AND FREE THEM SO THAT THEY MAY BE WELCOME IN THEIR COUNTRY.

COMMIT TO GUARANTEEING THEIR SECURITY AND FREE EXPRESSION IN THE SERVICE OF PEACE, DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL PROGRESS.

The Kononovich brothers are sending us this urgent call. They fear for their lives:

We, the Kononowicz brothers, Ukrainian communists and anti-fascists, appeal to the World Federation of Democratic Youth, communists, all leftists and anti-fascists in Europe and the world.
We officially declare that the Zelensky regime is preparing our assassination. The regime, through current police officer Evgen Kravchuk, has publicly and repeatedly warned us against our assassination. The police officer wrote calls for murder on Facebook and actively disseminated our home address, knowing that we are under house arrest and can’t go anywhere, so we are trapped.

A police officer on duty can only make such statements and calls in public, without fear of anyone. They officially put us outlaw and specify that no one will be punished for killing us. This is what happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930s, where communists and anti-fascists were outlawed.
