For Europe’s Future – We Stand with Ukraine
On February 24th, we take to the streets in solidarity – for Europe’s future. This future is goes hand in hand with a statement: We stand with Ukraine.
For months, Russia has been systematically attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Not to shift “front lines,” but to break society: apartments stand cold, cities sink into darkness, families are worn down, to force Ukraine to give up. This is energy terror. Civilian infrastructure is being bombed, while a decisive response from the world community is absent.
Despite everything, Ukraine holds its ground. Not because it is easy, but because people make their choice again and again, every day, that they will not let themselves be dehumanized. They repair, rescue, share, and survive. That is precisely why we must not look away. This condition must not become normal.
What happens in Ukraine is not “far away.” It is a mirror of our decisions. Europe’s hesitation, Europe’s dependencies, Europe’s lack of a clear voice – all of this has created space in which an aggressor could act freely. Partnership is diplomacy, but from dependence grows powerlessness. Powerlessness is dangerous, not only for Ukraine, but for all of us.
Together with many people around the world and especially in Iran right now, we fight together for freedom, dignity and self-determination.
For Europe’s Future – We Stand with Ukraine
Come on February 24th. Come because solidarity is more than empathy. It is an attitude paired with action. Come to show those who endure in darkness and cold: You are not alone.
We demand:
Arms deliveries for Ukraine – Permanently and reliably support the armed forces defending their population against russian aggression.
Long-term security guarantees – Reliable, sustainable commitments are in mutual interest. Germany helps protect civilian population and critical infrastructure and can strengthen its own security with the insights gained.
Make russia pay – Use frozen russian state assets to finance Ukraine’s defense and reconstruction. Political will is essential to enforce reparations and compensation against insistence on pretended property rights.
No “peace” without justice – All negotiations must ensure real security and responsibility and must not reward aggression or give russia time to prepare for the next attack.
Bring back kidnapped children – The deportation and kidnapping of Ukrainian children is a war crime. We demand their immediate return and criminal prosecution of all those responsible.
Strengthen international accountability – Russia’s war against Ukraine is supported by partner states. We demand a coordinated response: deterrence, stricter export controls, tougher sanctions and determined measures against disinformation. We also support the establishment of a special tribunal. Sanctions must be tightened and loopholes closed to weaken russia’s combat capability.
A clear European future for Ukraine – Accelerating EU integration is the best way to prepare Europe for the geo-strategic challenges of the future.
