Calls to increase solidarity and secure release of jailed Ukrainian communist brothers

Mikhail and Aleksander Kononovich were hauled into custody by security forces soon after the Russian intervention in Ukraine on February 24.
Fears were raised that the pair — both prominent members of the Communist Party of Ukraine’s youth wing — could be executed.
