Dutch protests in Amsterdam against the continuation of the war in Ukraine

According to Isna, the war in Ukraine will enter its third year in February 2025, and there is still no prospect for peace in this war-torn European country, and in the meantime, the United States, as the most important supporter of Kiev, has poured significant financial and military aid into Ukraine and ” “Biden”, the current president of the United States, continues to do this in the last days of his presidency.

According to Rasha Today, several human rights groups and the “right-wing Society for Democracy” party organized this rally, and protesters protested against the war in Ukraine and military aid to this country in Amsterdam’s “Dom” square.

While calling for peace with Russia, Gideon Van Meiren, a member of the aforementioned party, said in a speech: “People at the top of power and politics are looking to create a major war. They lie to us, scare us and want war with Russia. They say that Russia is dangerous and that Russia wants to attack us, but we know that they are only doing this for their own interests. They want to bring more money to the military-industrial complex and have more power. “I emphasize that peace will be the best option for everyone.”

Hugo Jitlinck, another member of the same party, said: “The occurrence of World War III would be hellish, so we demand an immediate ceasefire, stop sending weapons, and lift economic and cultural sanctions.”

The Netherlands has been one of Ukraine’s most active supporters, supplying Ukraine with a variety of sophisticated weapons, providing financial aid for Leopard tanks, and committing to the delivery of US-made F-16 fighter jets from its fleet. According to official statistics published by the Dutch government, this country has provided about 3 billion euros ($3.15 billion) in military aid to Ukraine this year, and similar amounts are planned for 2024 and 2025.
