Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) – On Tuesday evening in Frankfurt, around 250 people drew attention to the impending danger of war in Ukraine with a vigil on Paulsplatz. Some demonstrators were dressed in the Ukrainian colors of yellow and blue, while others carried signs reading “Hands off Ukraine”. Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, Volt, the district associations of the CDU, SPD and FDP and the Europa-Union called for the vigil.
With the recognition of the self-proclaimed People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine and the announcement that Russian troops would be sent to these areas, a new level of escalation had been reached, the call for the vigil said. The Russian threat is a “challenge for democracy and our free model of society”.
