One year on from 19th April 2023, the day Cooper Andrews ("🇺🇸"), Finbar Cafferkey (🇮🇪), and Dmitriy Petrov fell in battle near Bakhmut, we will gather in Berlin to remember their lives. We'll read their words, hear directly from their friends, and guide internationalist discussions, incl. about parallels between the struggles of Kurds and Ukrainians.
The 3 are among many anarchists, feminists, antifascists, trade unionists & human rights defenders who have perished in the Russian imperialist war in Ukraine. Dmitriy, Finbar & Marsy previously fought in defence of the revolution in Rojava.

In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. Ukrainian forces have since put up a strong resistance to the Russian troops amid the war that has left hundreds of Ukrainian civilians, including children, dead, according to the United Nations. Ukrainian and international officials have accused Russia of targeting civilian populations with shelling and bombardments. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early-morning hours of February 24, targeting several key cities with military strikes. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open.
