03:26Germany: 'We are the red line' - Hundreds march against arms deliveries to Ukraine in Nuremberg
Hundreds of demonstrators marched through the streets of Nuremberg on Monday to rally against sending German-made Leopard tanks and other arms shipments to Ukraine.
Footage shows the anti-war protesters marching with a large banner reading 'We are the red line', beating drums and chanting as they marched to the city’s 'Street of Human Rights'.
"No war must go through Germany, neither with arms deliveries nor anything else, because otherwise, Germany will be in the middle of it again. Which ultimately only America wants," a protester said.
"I have the terrible feeling that if things go on like this, I don't know, we will consciously manoeuvre ourselves into a third world war, which most people here in the country don't want, but don't want to do much about it, honestly, stop," added a second.
The protest came after the German government approved the supply of 14 Leopard tanks from Bundeswehr stocks to Ukraine last week.
Last Thursday, Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitri Peskov claimed that Moscow saw the supply of weapons by Western countries to Ukraine as 'direct involvement' in the conflict.
