Resistance Connections UA is a Berlin-based activist group committed to material and political solidarity with anti-authoritarian, feminist, and left-wing forces in Ukraine and beyond. Formed in response to the normalization of Ukrainian erasure within the German left, we work to confront russian imperialism as an ongoing colonial formation - and to resist the geopolitical distortions that flatten struggles for liberation into competing state allegiances. As co-organizers of the anti-imperialist tent, we aim to hold space for situated, plural, and non-campist solidarities - politicizing what has been silenced, and refusing empire in all its forms.
