UKRAINE’S Communist Youth (Komsomol) members joined a rally against the planned marketisation of the nation’s agricultural land on Sunday near the office of the President in Kiev.
Protesters left political party banners and flags behind to emphasise that the great land sell-off “concerns all residents of Ukraine.”
The demo chanted: “No to the sale of land!” and “A referendum on land!” to put pressure on President Volodymyr Zelensky to go to the people about the “reform,” which has long been demanded by international financial institutions such as the World Bank.
