Ukraine: continuing solidarity and support for the right to self-defence

Congress declares its support for the right of the Ukrainian people to self-determination and self-defence.

It salutes the continuing resistance of the Ukrainian people, including their trade unions, to imperialist invasion and occupation.

Congress resolves to build solidarity with Ukraine and its labour movement, including:

  • Support for financial appeals for medical, educational and humanitarian projects
  • Support for Ukrainian refugees
  • Solidarity rallies and demonstrations
  • Holding webinars to educate ourselves about Ukraine
  • Encouraging twinning arrangements with Ukrainian universities and colleges
  • Demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.

Endorses the appeal of the Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Ukraine calling onthe international trade union movement to call on governments to continue providing humanitarian aid and military aid to Ukraine.

Congress resolves to affiliate to the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign and to encourage branches and regions to invite USC speakers to their meetings.
