War: Tens of thousands at demo in Munich against attack on Ukraine

Russia’s attack on Ukraine brought tens of thousands of people onto the streets in Munich. Prime Minister Söder also took part in the demo.

According to the police in Munich, a good 45,000 people demonstrated against the Russian attack on Ukraine. Many carried blue and yellow pennants and banners – the colors of the Ukrainian national flag.

Children carried banners reading “Please let peace win” and “Peace for all”. Prime Minister Markus Söder also took part in the event under the motto “Peace in Europe and Solidarity with Ukraine”. “Under no circumstances will we accept a war, an unprovoked war of aggression in Europe, never,” said the CSU chairman. “Now we are all Ukrainians and also stand by this obligation,” he added, referring to aid from Bavaria.

With the rally, several parties wanted to set a common signal on political Ash Wednesday, which is otherwise characterized by party disputes and mutual insults.

Around 300 people protested at Tegernsee not far from a villa belonging to the oligarch Alisher Usmanov. Many carried banners reading “Stop Putin” or “Stop the war in Ukraine now”. Some had painted their faces blue and yellow. Usmanow reportedly left Germany on Monday.
