The KKE expresses its opposition to the invitation addressed by the Prime Minister to V. Zelenski, while anticipating the abstention of the KKE parliamentary group from the parliament during Zelenski’s speech, Perissos’ sources emphasize:

“Zelensky represents a reactionary government, backed by the US-NATO-EU cam, and is responsible, like Russia, for the drama of the Ukrainian people. This government has for years supported and integrated Nazi organizations, persecuted and imprisoned communists, has outlawed the Communist Party of Ukraine. “Our stance is obvious and we would do the same if Putin, Biden, etc. came.”
