For nearly 11 years, russia has waged war against Ukraine, and three years ago, this war escalated into a brutal full-scale invasion.<\/strong> Every day, Ukraine loses territory \u2013 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.<\/p>\n It is na\u00efve to believe and foolish to demand that Ukraine and its allies should now make concessions in negotiations with russia \u2013 after three years of brutal invasion, thousands of war crimes, destroyed cities, and millions living in fear, torture, and oppression. russia\u2019s ambitions extend beyond Ukraine; it threatens freedom, democracy, and the right to a safe life globally. It will not stop on its own \u2013 it must be decisively stopped.<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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 \u2013 or allow tyranny and oppression to prevail?<\/p>\n On February 24, the anniversary of the full-scale invasion, we will come together to send a clear signal: \ud83d\udccd Where: Brandenburger Tor, Berlin Gratitude to @Viter.stepoviy for providing the pixel illustration of the moment when the Ukrainian flag was raised in liberated Vysokopillia in the Kherson region on September 4th, 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nWe choose freedom, democracy, and peace. We choose Ukraine!<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n\ud83d\udcc5 When: February 24, 19:00<\/p>\n
