A protest against Western arms supplies to Ukraine is taking place in the Dutch capital Amsterdam, which has gathered more than a hundred demonstrators. This is reported by a correspondent of RIA Novosti.
RIA Novosti correspondent said that the protest action against Western arms supplies to the Kiev regime started on Sunday, October 29 on Dam Square in the centre of Amsterdam. According to the journalist, at 14:00 the column of demonstrators moved towards the city’s Central Station.
The journalist emphasised that Amsterdam police officers were monitoring law and order during the protest. According to the RIA Novosti correspondent, the protesters are holding flags and posters with inscriptions: “Stop NATO’s war against Russia!”, “For peace with Russia!” and “No arms for peace!”.
Dutch activist Petra Ottenhof, one of the initiators of the protest, told a Russian correspondent that more and more people in the Netherlands want to know about the real situation in Ukraine.
“I started organising these protests in February this year when I saw what a strong wave of hatred had risen against Putin and Russia. People in the West were hungry for war. And then I organised an initiative group with independent journalists. Meanwhile, the situation was getting worse, the West started to supply more and more weapons to Ukraine, which, as we can see, leads to the deaths of even more people in Ukraine,” Ottenhof said.
The Dutch activist emphasised that the political parties – Forum for Democracy (FVD) and Together for the Netherlands (Samen voor Nederland) – are opposed to arms supplies to Ukraine in the Netherlands. Ottenhof expressed hope that after the parliamentary elections in 2024, the Kingdom’s policy will undergo significant changes in the context of sending weapons to the Kiev regime.
We shall remind you that the new Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo said that Bratislava had no further intention to supply Ukraine with military aid. During a meeting with members of the Slovak parliament, Fitzo said that Slovakia would continue to help Ukraine in humanitarian and civilian terms, but not in military terms.
