The PKP this Thursday considered the Portuguese government’s “submissive attitude” in the face of the “arms escalation” in Ukraine to be of “particular seriousness” and said it was urgent that “the United States, NATO and the European Union stop provoking and fueling war.”
In a statement titled “For peace! Put an end to the escalation of confrontation and war!” The PKP believes that “reality shows that while imagining a war between Russia and Ukraine, it is, in fact, a war between the United States of America (USA) and NATO against Russia as part of the strategy of hegemonic domination by North American imperialism.”
According to the PKP, within this strategic framework, “Ukraine and the authorities established there are being used as an instrument of this dangerous militant action at the expense of the sacrifices of the Ukrainian people.”
“Imperialism is increasingly seeking to create serious hotbeds of tension and war in order to justify its policy of exploitation and oppression, which is manifested in increased intervention, aggression, imposition of sanctions and blockades on countries that do not submit to its dictates. that include an escalation against Russia and a escalating confrontation with China,” the communists accuse.

The party considers “it is urgent that the US, NATO and the European Union (EU) stop warmongering and warmongering in Ukraine and that channels of negotiations be opened with other actors, namely the Russian Federation, in order to reach a peaceful solution.” .. to conflict.”
“The PKP rejects the pressure and blackmail of countries that maintain their position on the conflict, not joining the militant escalation of the US, NATO and the EU, and warns that the attempt to instrumentalize the United Nations (UN) as a result of the strategy undermines its foundations and its very existence,” — defended by the party.
Without naming any specific country, but at a time when China says it has a peace plan for Ukraine, the PKP says it “appreciates calls, initiatives, and offers of mediation for an urgent political solution to the conflict.” .
At the same time, he also condemns “the maneuvers of imperialism aimed at obstructing the necessary dialogue in order to promote peace, cooperation, security and disarmament.”
“In the current situation, when the desire for peace is unequivocally expressed throughout the world, the resistance and struggle of countries and peoples in defense of their sovereignty and rights, including the right to development, for building a new international order of peace and social progress,” the party points out.
The PKP stresses the urgent need to “end” the war, which “has lasted nine years”, and warns that “the escalation of arms and the subsequent expansion and escalation” of the conflict entails “aggravation and serious consequences”. and danger for the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, for the peoples of Europe and the whole world.”
“It is becoming more and more obvious that it is the workers and peoples who are paying the costs of warmongering, military drift, the sanctions spiral promoted by the US, NATO and the EU, which is primarily manifested in the rise in prices for goods. necessary, violating rights and living conditions, exacerbating poverty and inequality, worsening the economic and social situation,” he says.
