The Communist Party adds that for years the Ukrainian government has supported and integrated Nazi groups, persecuted and imprisoned communist and has outlawed the Communist Party of Ukraine.
It is characteristic that the Ukrainian government has blacklisted cadres of the KKE, including current Vice President of the Greek Parliament and MP Giorgos Lambroulis and the former KKE MEP Sotiris Zarianopoulos due to their support towards the persecuted Ukrainian communists.
The invitation of the Greek government to Zelensky has nothing to do with the solidarity to the people of Ukraine, the KKE adds. Based on the above, the stance of the KKE is obvious and would be the same if the guest was Biden or Putin.
