Event "Victory for Ukraine! Freedom for Russia!"
The rally will start near the Oodi library, after which a march to the Russian embassy will be organized.
November 19 will mark 1,000 days since the start of the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine. Since then, a huge number of Ukrainian cities have been destroyed by Russian missiles, more than a million civilians have been killed or wounded.
On November 17, in many countries around the world, there will be actions and marches of anti-war communities of Russians who oppose Putin and the war, in support of Ukraine, in support of political prisoners and for regime change in Russia.
In Berlin, Ilya Yashin, Yulia Navalnaya and Vladimir Kara-Murza announced a rally with demands to the Russian side - the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, the arrest of Putin, the freedom of political prisoners. The idea of the march is to unite and be in solidarity with all those who agree with these demands (both in Russia and abroad).
The Putin regime has been in power for over 24 years. In addition to Ukraine, Chechnya, Georgia, Syria have suffered during this time. Its influence also extends to Kazakhstan, Serbia, Moldova and other countries.
The repressions in Russia are on an unimaginable scale - more than 5,000 political prisoners (according to OVD Info) and more than 1,300 people are in prison - among them minors, elderly people, people with health problems, persecuted for ethnic and religious reasons. Ukrainian prisoners of war and Ukrainian volunteers are being held in torture conditions. Alexey Navalny, as well as several other people, were killed in prison.
Putin must be stopped, otherwise his influence and his tanks may go beyond other borders, and his regime will not stop persecuting all dissenters. We call on the entire Western community to continue to support Ukraine.
We also appeal to everyone to support our common large collection for generators for Ukrainian schools and hospitals. https://antiwarcommittee.info/energyforua/
We invite all residents of Finland to join this rally.
Together against Putin and the war, for the victory of Ukraine, for the freedom of political prisoners, for regime change in Russia!
