Dozens of protesters gathered on Thursday, July 14th in Dusseldorf near the headquarters of the German company Uniper, demanding it stops doing business with Russia immediately and, therefore, stop funding the terrorist country that is killing Ukrainians and destroying the country’s infrastructure.

The protest, organized by the local Ukrainian community, included placards reading “Uniper! Stop Bloody Energy”, as well as empty children’s shoes symbolizing the 349 killed Ukrainian children killed by Russia to date in this illegal war.

Germany will completely stop buying Russian coal on Aug. 1 and Russian oil on Dec. 31, marking a major shift in the source of the country’s energy supply, Joerg Kukies, state secretary in the German federal chancellery, said at a conference in Sydney.
