CYPRIOT MP Skevi Koukouma has arrived in Ukraine to back the country’s communists against the Kiev regime’s plans to outlaw their party.

The communist Akel party political bureau member attended yesterday’s court case on banning the Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU).

Ms Koukouma was one of many MPs, MEPs and representatives of movements from across Europe who travelled to the Ukraine capital to stand by the KPU against far-right persecution.
