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.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces "destroy the invaders wherever we can." Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands. In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. "Your messages about the movement of the enemy through the official chatbot … bring new trophies every day," the government agency tweeted.
