Russia is the world’s number one terrorist.

Under these slogans, on March 30, Ukrainian communities across European countries held demonstrations to remind the world where the greatest threat to global security comes from.

In particular, such events took place in Germany, Portugal, Norway, and Latvia.

Taking to the streets of their cities, Ukrainians continued to focus the world’s attention on the crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine—crimes that are becoming increasingly severe.

“At our demonstrations, one of the constant themes or main slogans is the recognition of Russia as a terrorist state. In our view, the sooner the world realizes this, the more effectively it will act and apply all available measures against Russia. Once Russia is recognized as a terrorist state at the level of international organizations and national governments, there will be no need to ask for boycotts of its market by foreign companies or for sanctions to be imposed. These actions will become a logical response to its status as a global threat and the world’s largest terrorist state.”

said Kateryna Demerza, a representative of the public organization Vitsche Berlin, commenting on the essence of the demands voiced by participants of the Berlin demonstration.

As demonstrators noted, throughout the previous week the Kremlin had been conducting an intense information campaign aimed at diverting attention from its terrorist actions.

“But it is our duty to constantly remind the world that Russia is the main terrorist and must be held accountable for what it has done,”—this was the key message that demonstrators addressed to Western governments.

The demonstrations were held with the support of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation and the European Congress of Ukrainians.

“At all international platforms, we must speak out about the evil that the Putin regime represents. Pressuring Ukraine to give up its territories to Russia means supporting Russian occupation and all the consequences this brings for the local population. Two years ago, in Bucha and Borodianka, the world saw what the ‘Russian world’ imposed on Ukraine looks like: countless graves, rape, and torture. And we must do everything possible to prevent its spread.”
