March for Ukraine’s Independence Day
August 24 @ 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
📅 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.
