a labour convoy to ukraine
The Workers' Aid Convoy of the ILNSS (International Labour Network of Solidarity and Struggles) to Ukraine aims to strengthen class resistance in the country against the Russian invasion.
In the two convoys sent to Ukraine, we could take our internationalist support forward, in a closer and more practical way, with representations of the entities that integrate the ILNSS and other organizations.
The decision to send an international delegation to the country was based on many conversations with labor unions and activists from Ukraine, Poland, Russia and Belarus, and is only possible because several organizations that are part of the ILNSS have been actively involved in the defense of Ukraine against the Russian invasion since the beginning of the attacks on 24 February.
The war is not over and now the Ukrainian people are facing a harsh winter, under intense bombardment, suffering water, power, internet and communication cuts.

The idea is to continue the campaign of concrete support and to hold two more solidarity actions.
The next one is scheduled to take place on 17 December, which due to the weather conditions, will be held in a virtual format.
The next convoy sending donations should take place during the European spring period, between March and April, with no date yet set.
