Call to Demonstration “Choose Ukraine” – February 24, Brandenburg Gate
On the 24th of February, the anniversary of the russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine, we will send a clear signal together:
- 18:00 Demonstration march from Lustgarten (at Berlin Cathedral)
- 19:00 Rally at the Brandenburg Gate
For nearly 11 years, russia has waged war against Ukraine, and three years ago, this war escalated into a brutal full-scale invasion. Every day, Ukraine loses territory – places where people live. russian missiles and bombs destroy villages and cities, while drone attacks terrorize civilians and target critical infrastructure. This winter, russia aims to dismantle power and heating systems, leaving millions at risk.
It is naïve to believe and foolish to demand that Ukraine and its allies should now make concessions in negotiations with russia – after three years of brutal invasion, thousands of war crimes, destroyed cities, and millions living in fear, torture, and oppression. russia’s ambitions extend beyond Ukraine; it threatens freedom, democracy, and the right to a safe life globally. It will not stop on its own – it must be decisively stopped.
It is clear: appeasing the aggressor will not lead to peace but only allow it to regain strength. Negotiations without robust security guarantees and justice for the victims are not a path to sustainable peace. russia sees concessions as weakness and exploits them.
With the upcoming Bundestag elections and the rise of populist and far-right forces, we must ask ourselves: will we stand for democracy, peace, and freedom – or allow tyranny and oppression to prevail?
We will start with a demonstration march at 18:00 from the Lustgarten, followed by a rally at 19:00 at the Brandenburg Gate.
