For Europe's Future We Stand with Ukraine

On February 24th, Kyiv Dialogue joins VITSCHE's march in the streets of Berlin – for Europe's Future. We Stand with Ukraine.

We call on all members of the Ukraine community and all allies to come along for a strong voice of support!

For months, Russia has been systematically attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Not to shift "front lines," but to break society: apartments are cold, cities sink into darkness, families are worn down to force Ukraine to give up. This is energy terror. Civilian infrastructure is being bombed and a decisive response from the world community is absent.

Despite everything, Ukraine holds its ground. Not because it would be easy, but because people decide anew every day that they will not let themselves be dehumanized. They repair, rescue, share, survive. That is precisely why we must not look away here. 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 too-quiet 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.

We demand:

Arms deliveries for Ukraine

Permanently and reliably support the armed forces defending their population against Russian terror.

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.
