Ukraine Solidarity Campaign Scotland secretary Peter Cooper has responded in online socialist magazine Heckle to an article by Stop the War Coalition Scotland secretary Sophie Johnson which claimed and welcomed that “popular enthusiasm for the war in Ukraine has all but disappeared”.
“If Stop the War’s demands had been implemented at any point, there would have been no meaningful negotiations. Ukraine would have been fully occupied by Russia within months, and/or a puppet government installed, and its programme of ethnocide, the disappearing of Ukraine, implemented.”
