Russian rocket just hit a residential building, 2 entrances demolished, people are screaming under the rubble. This has to stop but it does not. Ukraine still needs more weapons to prevent more deaths.
Journalist to Sweden's defense minister:

When I hear "I give you Leopards only if they give you Abrams", I get scared. Not because I'm Ukrainian, but because sometimes it seems Ukrainians are the only adults in the room. And to be honest, we're not ready to save the world both from Russia and this kindergarten politics.

This is the Berlin event this Friday. Come to Willy-Brandt-Straße at 17:00.
If you are from the different city/country, use replies to organize. I will repost every rally.
