March for Ukraine’s Independence Day

📅 August 24
🕓 16:00–18:00
📍 Blaue Kirche (Breitscheidplatz) → Brandenburg Gate
This year, we are once again taking to the streets of Berlin — not just to celebrate, but to remember.
To remember that independence was not a gift — we restored it. And since 1991, we’ve had to defend it time and time again — through revolutions, resistance, and war.
This year’s demonstration is held under the slogan “Future Needs Memory” — because we know:
❗️ Memory helps prevent the repetition of past mistakes
❗️ Memory resists colonial erasure and propaganda
❗️ Memory is part of our national identity
❗️ Without memory of the road we’ve taken, there can be no free future
Our march will raise urgent demands:
- The return of over 200,000 Ukrainian civilians — including thousands of children — illegally deported to russia.
- The release of Ukrainian prisoners of war still held in russian captivity.
- Continued international partner and defense support to uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty
- Recognition that Ukraine’s fight is a European fight — for freedom, justice, and peace.
- Honoring those who have sacrificed their lives, lost loved ones, and suffered due to russia’s war of aggression.
Your presence will show that defenders of democracy around the world stand united in supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and the right of its people to live in peace.
