Irish Left With Ukraine (ILWU) was honoured to receive an invitation to participate in this demonstration organised by Free Russians Ireland. Free Russians Ireland
Free Russians Ireland co-hosted an impressive protest with Iranians in Ireland supporting the current women-led uprising against the brutal Islamic Republic led by Ayatollah Khamenei.

Pictures of the Protest are here : The blue and white flag is based on the Russian flag without a red colour. Free Russians Ireland co-ordinator Olga Popova explained that, for Free Russians Ireland, the colour red in the flag meant blood. A blue and white flag means Russia at peace with a free Ukraine and other neighbouring states. Free Russians Ireland calls for “régime change” in Russia.

• Protest Peace for Ukraine. Freedom for Russia

• We demand that the Russian army immediately Leave Ukraine.

• We want also pay attention that long-lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine will be impossible with the current Russian constitution.

• The Russian constitution declares that many parts of Ukraine are Russian.

• The Russian constitution declares unlimited power for the President.

• With such a main law Russia can’t be peaceful.

• Russia must be reformed and only in this case Ukraine could be 100% safe.
