Once again, forces of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and its Youth wing, KNE, blocked trucks carrying ammunition to the slaughterhouse of Ukraine.

This time, members and supporters of the KKE and KNE blocked a convoy of trucks transporting 155mm calibers produced at the Hellenic Defense Systems SA and utilized on the front lines of the Ukrainian war. 

The incident took place in Lavrio, a town 40km south-east of Athens. 

This isn't the first time Greek communists block the transportation of ammunition to Ukraine: Last November, in the town of Tyrnavos, KKE members set up a blockade on six trucks carrying ammunition to Ukraine, while on March 2024 they blocked a train with military equipment. 

With these symbolic, but meaningful action, the Organizations of the KKE and KNE sent a message condemning the imperialist war in Ukraine and our country’s involvement in it, which escalates the danger posed to the people and turns the northern Greek port into a launching pad against the peoples.
