LUkraine asbl has announced that it is organising a demonstration in Luxembourg City on Tuesday 19 November 2024, as the 1,000th day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches.
This demonstration is taking place outside the Chamber of Deputies (parliament) in Luxembourg-Ville on Tuesday, starting at 13:00.
The organisers noted that, as we mark 1,000 days of war in Europe, "the humanitarian crisis continues to escalate, leaving a profound impact on the lives of millions". They added that "unprovoked" Russian aggression has led to "devastating losses and widespread destruction".
This gathering in front of Luxembourg's parliament aims to "remind EU leaders that it is time for Europe to be brave and strong". Volunteers from LUkraine asbl will give fired cartridge cases to passing politicians, representing the need for continuous military support, as well as blue and yellow ribbons that represent Ukrainian bravery protecting not only Ukraine but all of Europe against Russia's war in Ukraine.
The demonstration is taking place under the slogan: "Europe needs a piece of bravery, have one!"
"As we reflect on the past 1,000 days, it is crucial to remember the resilience of the Ukrainian people and the importance of international solidarity," said Nicolas Zharov, President of LUkraine. "The path to sustainable and just peace yet remains challenging. It is time for Europe to be strong, it is time for Europe to act. The decisions made today define our future. It is our common duty and responsibility to protect the international peace and security system."
Similar pro-Ukraine protests are being planned in other European capitals to mark the 1,000th day of the war.
