Several thousand people marched during the “Easter march” in Berlin, to protest against the supply of arms to Kiev, reports RIA Novosti. The demonstrators are in favor of holding peace talks.
The demonstrators carried flags with the image of a dove of peace and banners with the inscriptions “United States and NATO – get out of Ukraine”, “Diplomacy, not weapons”, “Tanks do not never bring peace”. Before the start of the procession, the artist performed the song “May the sun be always” in three languages: Russian, German and Yiddish.
The marchers demanded the lifting of sanctions imposed on Russia, which they believed mainly harmed Germany itself. One speaker stressed that Russia’s security interests should be taken into account in the context of NATO enlargement.
Pro-Ukrainian activists tried to prevent the rally, but failed. In total, at least three thousand people came out to protest.
Germany is holding its annual Easter Marches this weekend. In more than 120 cities across the country, citizens will take part in demonstrations against the supply of arms to Ukraine and for a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian conflict.
Earlier, at the NATO headquarters in Brussels, for the first time, a rally was held against the supply of weapons to Kiev and in memory of the dead children of Donbass. The event took place during the days when the summit of the foreign ministers of the countries of the alliance was held there.
