Ukrainian Demonstration

-Ukrainian government announced that its lost control over the east of the country which has sparked protests.
-Protesters are relentless and demanded a meeting with the British prime minister. 
-Observers : a third world war is approaching if the west doesn't act.

Outside 10 downing street , Ukrainians are relentlessly protesting days and nights to push the UK to fulfill its international obligation under Budapest treaty and intervene in Ukraine and defend it against “the Bullying attitude of Russia “ 21 years old protester Oleg Davydov said .

The look of anger and desperation in the faces of the protesters was quite clear and walking through the crowed one would sense the tension and hopelessness at the submissive stand of the west .

Budapest memorandum is a treaty signed in December 1994 by the Russians , USA and the UK to provide Ukraine with security assurances against threats or use of force of violence from any external power in return for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal which it had had since the days of the soviet union .

“Russia has not only threatened and used force against Ukraine but actually has invaded a strategical territory of it which is Crimea” Oleg added.

In a series of violent actions against Ukraine , Russia has now occupied the eastern province of the country with its masked highly trained pro-Russia militia .


Observers have warned of a third world if Russia continues with its aggression and Russia must stop its military operations and come to negotiate a diplomatic settlement , “Ukrainians will fight all the way to liberate their countries , the Russians are afraid of us because we are willing to die for our land “ 24 years old political activist Nadia Pylypchuk said at the protest.

most protesters are members of a Ukrainian political Movement called London Euromaidan which was founded a few months ago in the aftermath of the events in Ukraine , and it consists of Ukrainians citizens living in the UK.

The Ukrainian president has said yesterday that the country has “practically” lost control of the east of Ukraine , which is why these demonstrations have been sparked around the world against Russia .

Russia has always accused the Ukrainian opposition of fascism , there's some truth in that , in fact some reports linked to Almasar center for strategic studies has found some Nazi members among them , “this is absolute complete and utter rubbish , we are patriotic and that’s our sole motivation , this is very offensive from the media to report and promote the Russian propaganda “. Nadia has added in an anger tune .


Andrew Smith From CAAT

-Born and raised in Zimbabwe .
-Witnessed the horror of war first hand.
-"Campaigning against arms trade is a goal of my life"

Andrew smith is the media coordinator and head of the PR department at ‘campaign against arms trade’ or CAAT which has seen a remarkable success over the last year by exposing imminent deals and preventing it from going ahead and cause death to people around the world .

Andrew was born in Zimbabwe where his parents lived for decades , he has witnessed first hand the sufferings and the death of many people around him , he considers himself to be lucky to make it out alive .

His father died when he was 12 years old , He attended primary school in Chakari , Andrew began his studies for a BA in political science at the university of Hertfordshire in 2003 and graduated in 2006.


His awful experience in Africa and the violence he has witnessed has led him to campaign against arms trade which has subsequently led him to working for the infamous CAAT.
Andrew says that The arms trade is an illegitimate and morally bankrupt trade that fuels war and profits from conflict. CAAT has always been at the forefront of opposing it, and the growing militarization of our society. I wanted to join so that I can make a difference.

“I have been a part of CAAT  range of high profile multimedia campaigns and demonstrations. We work with a range of other groups to campaign on the issues that are important to us. We also work constructively with MPs and journalists to ensure that our scrutiny and analysis reaches the biggest possible number of people.” Mr Andrew Smith said.

CAAT polling has shown that 60% of the public are opposed to the UK selling weapons to dictatorships and oppressive regimes. Andrew has worked hard to build  big and active supporter base and CAAT actions and campaigning work always receives a positive response .
In response to what European governments that sells arms reaction to thier campaign and whether they tried to interfere ion their work , Andrew said :“Governments do not like to be publicly associated with the arms trade, and most arms companies don't like to be reminded of what they do. We have challenged governments and human rights abusers every step of the way, and of course they don't like that.”

Campaigning against arms trade is one of the hardest jobs in the field , its about facing up to these whales that sells arms to any one that has money but with the likes of Andrew and his dedicated team ….the fight continues .
