The situation in Ukraine now is out of control.

Some minutes ago, Ukrainian fascists from the ‘Svoboda’ party destroyed Lenin’s monument in the centre of Kiev.

Now, at 19.00 Kiev time, crowds of opposition in the city centre are saying that their next target will be the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovich. They are calling for the arrest of the Ukrainian government.

There is a strong chance that we will now see a state of emergency in Ukraine.

The fascists have also called for the destruction of the CPU office and expressed a desire to kill all of our employees.

That is why I and my comrades will defend our holy house.

Thank you for your solidarity.
