On January 19th, the Central Committee of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine (PSPU) issued an Open Letter ripping apart the fraud of those pushing for confrontation with Russia on the pretext of allowing the people of Ukraine to “write their own future.” The letter was signed by the Chairwoman of the PSPU, renowned Ukrainian economist Natalia Vitrenko, and addressed to the Heads of State of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Poland and NATO General Secretary Stoltenberg, with copies to the Secretaries General of the United Nations, Council of Europe, and OSCE, along with the Presidents of Ukraine and Russia. She opens bluntly:
“The Central Committee of the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, expressing deep concern over the socioeconomic catastrophe in Ukraine, considers it unacceptable and dangerous, for both the citizens of Ukraine and the entire world community, to use political blackmail in inciting Ukraine to war with Russia. Countries of the West, led by the USA and NATO, are inciting our country in that direction.
More than 15,000 innocent civilians have already been killed in the “fratricidal warfare” unleashed inside Ukraine since 2014 by those rewriting history to make “heroes out of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgent Army (OUN-UPA) collaborationists who abetted Hitler,” and adopting as state policy the ideology of Ukrainian “`integral’ nationalism (fascism),” she charges.
