A protest action took place near the NATO headquarters in Brussels against the activities of the North Atlantic Alliance and in memory of the children who died since 2014 in the Donbass, reports TASS. The event was organized by several organizations, including SOS Donbass.
The action brought together around 50 people from France, Belgium, Germany and Italy. They carried banners calling for an end to arms deliveries to Ukraine and accusing the North Atlantic Alliance of fueling the conflict. On the walls of the fence opposite the main entrance to the NATO headquarters, there are portraits of children killed by the Ukrainian army since 2014.
According to one of the organizers, such demonstrations have already taken place in Germany, Italy and Spain.
“Our task is to remind the world on April 4, the founding day of NATO, who has been the instigator of wars for the past 74 years, who is the real aggressor,” said Anna Novikova, head of SOS Donbass.
The demonstration took place under police control.
The Belgian capital is hosting a two-day meeting of foreign ministers from NATO member countries. One of its participants, the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Relations, Péter Szijjarto, called for everything to be done to avoid a direct conflict between the bloc and Russia. According to him, some NATO members have gone far in sending weapons to Kiev, and there is no feeling that they will stop.
