800 labour movement activists marched behind trade union banners, in Defence of Ukraine’s right to freedom and in opposition to Putin’s war, in Central London on Saturday 9 April. John Moloney, AGS of the civil servants’ union, PCS, and a central organiser of the demonstration said, “I am pleased with the turn out today. British trade unionists know the importance of international working class solidarity and we back our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. The march had been formally backed, and at short notice, by PCS, Aslef, NUM, CWU, TSSA, the Bakers’ Union, GMB and UCU.
