Dozens of demonstrators gathered in the streets of Amsterdam on Sunday to protest against military aid to Ukraine and call for peace, according to a RIA Novosti correspondent.

The demonstrators held a peaceful rally at Dam Square, displaying posters with messages like "No weapons for peace!" and "For peace with Russia!"

They also waved Russian flags and blue flags featuring a dove, symbolizing peace.

Dutch activist and writer Bert van Vondel told RIA Novosti that by supplying Ukraine with weapons, the Netherlands and other Western countries are indirectly involved in the conflict with Russia.

"If you do not want war, do not supply weapons. Start negotiations. This is the best way to stop the war. And also do not send weapons," van Vondel said in an interview.

Western countries have increased their military and financial support for Ukraine since Russia launched its military operation in 2022. The Kremlin has cautioned that ongoing arms shipments to Kiev would further escalate the conflict.

The Netherlands and Denmark were among the first to agree to supply F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The White House has confirmed that Ukraine will receive these US-made jets from third-party countries once Ukrainian pilots have completed their training.
