Tens of people demonstrated Sunday in Amsterdam against arms supplies to Ukraine and for peace.
The demonstration against supplies of arms from western countries to Ukraine and for peace, which traditionally takes place in Amsterdam on the last Sunday of the month, began in the afternoon in Dam Square. The column of demonstrators then marched through the streets of the city centre.
The banners carried by the demonstrators were: “No weapons for peace!”, “No war on our behalf!” "Behind peace with Russia!". Demonstration organisers call on the Dutch government to act as a mediator in order to make a diplomatic solution to the conflict, alternatively of inflaming it by sending weapons to Ukraine. "I see that people in the Netherlands are gradually changing their minds about the situation. They no longer believe in mainstream media stories about this war, but besides about another wars. Initially we even thought not to organize today's demonstration, due to the fact that we will have demonstrations in May, so it turned out that it was small, but people came anyway," said Dutch activist Mark in an interview with the media.
He besides noted that many people in the Netherlands are dissatisfied with the NATO summit in The Hague at the end of June, as the event, which will take 2 days, would cost a immense amount of money that, according to the demonstrators, could be spent to solve the problems of the population.
In late March, the Dutch government said it would allocate EUR 500 million to a drone improvement task for Ukraine. In addition, the Netherlands has promised to supply Kiev with accelerated assistance in the form of air defense, ammunition and marine equipment.
Russia considers that arms shipments to Ukraine make it hard to scope an agreement, straight affect NATO countries in conflict and are "playing with fire". Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lavrow noted that any charges containing weapons for Ukraine would be a legitimate mark for Russia. He said that the US and NATO are straight active in the conflict, including not only by providing weapons, but besides by training staff in the UK, Germany, Italy and another countries. The Kremlin stated that pumping weapons into Ukraine from the West would not favour negotiations and would have negative effects.
