19/06/2022: Duesseldorf Sympathy March for the EU Accession of Ukraine
Europe's development is usually agonisingly slow. But this year is different. On 24 February 2022, Vladimir Putin's Russia invades Ukraine and starts a beastly war against the alleged "brother nation". Four days later, Ukraine applies to join the European Union.
