#VOICES4UKRAINE

With our series #voices4ukraine, we aim to give voice to a group of people who are protesting against the war in Ukraine. Ever since February 24, 2022, hundreds have been gathering day and night outside the Russian Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany, to express their dissent against the breach of contract of the Budapest Memorandum (1994). We let Ukrainians, but also members of other nationalities, speak the truth.
