I'm beginning you to read Mao

When imperialism launches a war of aggression against such a country, all its various classes, except for some traitors, can temporarily unite in a national war against imperialism. At such a time, the contradiction between imperialism and the country concerned becomes the principal contradiction, while all the contradictions among the various classes within the country (including what was the principal contradiction, between the feudal system and the great masses of the people) are temporarily relegated to a secondary and subordinate position.

The US/West/Nato/Colonialism/GlobalImperialism is the driving force behind instability worldwide. Any country has issues, but standing up the this bloc is always a good thing.

I read this quote as saying that once imperialist Russia invades Ukraine, class struggle in Ukraine gets put on hold. All Ukrainians must unite against imperialist Russian invaders, and internal right-left politics stop mattering.
