October 3, 2024, Berlin, Germany: Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets on Germany’s Unity Day, answering the nationwide call by the ”Never Again War” initiative for a peace demonstration. Protesters rallied against the stationing of U.S. missiles in Germany, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and Germany’s arms deliveries to Ukraine and Israel. The event, which culminated at the Victory Column in Berlin’s Tiergarten, was marked by a mix of peace activists, anti-war protesters, and pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Organizers estimated around 30,000 participants, though police put the number closer to 10,000. Key speakers included Sahra Wagenknecht, leader of the newly formed BSW party, and Ralf Stegner, a prominent member of the SPD. Stegner, who spoke on Germany’s role in supporting Ukraine’s defense and Israel’s security, was met with boos and interruptions as he defended military aid. His speech drew mixed reactions from the crowd, many of whom opposed any form of arms delivery, while others criticized his remarks on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Sahra Wagenknecht delivered a fiery speech attacking Germany’s foreign policy and criticizing politicians like Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, whom she called a ”security risk for Germany” due to her support of military interventions. Wagenknecht condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but also accused the U.S. of hypocrisy, saying, ”If Putin is a criminal, what about the U.S. leaders responsible for their wars?” The demonstration also saw a counter-protest nearby, organized by the Ukrainian group Vitsche, which chanted slogans like ”Stop Russian Propaganda” and ”Russia is a Terror State.

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #956 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY October 1, 2024: ‘WAR-WEARY Ukraine’ by ZUMA Partner agency Ukrinform photo-journalist’s Dmytro Smolienko and Vyacheslav Madiyevskyy: Ukraine’s International Legion was born in 2022, a home for foreigners eager to fight Russia, its estimated 4,000 signed up. In 2024, the legion has been depleted by years of harsh reality and high casualty rates. Three days after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a clarion call for ”friends of peace and democracy” to join the fight from abroad. Zelensky’s International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine (ILDU) was born, echoing the International Brigades that fought fascism in the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. The war with Russia was a magnet for foreign fighters. After 2 bruising years, many are disillusioned or dead. Welcome to ‘WAR-WEARY Ukraine’
