During the celebration in Berlin of the 77th anniversary of the end of World War II, many conflicts took place in connection with the use of Ukrainian symbols, Bild reports.
Most of the conflicts took place at the Tiergarten memorial, where Ukrainian and Russian rallies gathered.
The other day, police banned the use of flags at rallies on May 8 because of a “very sensitive risk situation.”
“In practice, this means that because pro-Russian demonstrators can feel the anger of Ukrainian flags, they should not be waved … Solidarity with an attacked and bombed country fighting for freedom is prohibited, as well as the waving of Russian symbols, warmongers, ”Bild wrote.
There is no conflict. Bild reported that police detained a man who handed out Ukrainian paper flags.
In addition, several people unfurled the 25 -meter flag of Ukraine. The police acted and raised the flag.
Recall that the Berlin police, in order to avoid conflict situations, banned the use of symbols at events on May 8 and 9, which timed the 77th anniversary of the end of World War II and the liberation of Germany from National Socialism. The flags of Ukraine were also banned.
Berlin’s ruling burgomaster Franziska Ghiffey expressed hope that despite the situation in Ukraine, Berlin would host a “appropriate and worthy celebration of Germany’s liberation from National Socialism.”
