Thousands of protesters marched down the streets of Berlin condemning the West's hostile policies toward Russia.

The German Welt magazine reported that the streets of Berlin were filled with popular marches as the people commemorated the anniversary of the assassination of late German socialist movement leaders Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. 

The protesters chanted anti-western slogans condemning their hostile policies towards Russia, like "For Donbass", "Down with the West", "The real enemy is here", and others, the magazine added.

Circulated videos show demonstrators waving the Palestinian flag, raising banners in support of the Palestinian people, and condemning the crimes perpetrated against Palestinian prisoners. 

¡Auf, auf zum Kampf!

Portraits of different revolutionaries were also displayed during the march, including that of the Lebanese communist prisoner Georges Abdallah - the oldest political prisoner in France and Europe. 

Flags of the Donetsk People's Republic, whose autonomy from Ukraine and unification with the Russian Federation were declared by the Kremlin, were waved at the march as well. 

It's also notable that new packages of sanctions were imposed on Russia, leading to a surge in the costs of electricity, gas, and food in Europe and the US.

On top of the inflation in Europe, the energy crisis has caused a deterioration in the living conditions in a number of European countries amidst concerns about a harsh winter next year. 

An opinion poll conducted by the Washington Post found that there is a general sentiment of discontent among Germans regarding their government's decision to be militarily involved in Ukraine. 

"Russia – in its attempt to use energy as a weapon – has reduced gas supplies to Europe. As a result, prices have soared to ten times their previous levels and supplies are simply running out," the Washington Post further noted.

"Not surprisingly, many look to Germany – the EU’s largest economy – as the test case for continued European commitment to Ukraine," the US newspaper said.
