The relevant restrictions were published by law enforcement officers on their website..

We are talking about the flags of both Russia and Ukraine, the uniforms of the countries participating in that war, as well as St. George ribbons or similar symbols.. In addition, military songs, slogans, which, given the current situation, can justify or glorify the war in Ukraine, are banned..

“The act of memory and respect for these memorials must be preserved against the backdrop of the current Russian war of conquest in Ukraine. The war must not be allowed to spread beyond the democratic discourse in conflicts or disputes in Berlin,” the website of the Berlin Police says..

Law enforcement chief Barbara Slovik notes: “We oppose any form of support, approval or even glorification of the Russian war of conquest against Ukraine, especially at mass gatherings..

We are working on this on a comprehensive basis.. We will not accept the instrumentalization of memory for these purposes."
