A 'stop the war in Ukraine' protest is set to take place in Bristol next month. The protest rally will take place at 2pm on Saturday, August 6 in Castle Park.
Protesters are set to take to the streets of Bristol for a rally against what they deem to be a "useful proxy war against Russia" for the West in Ukraine as conflict continues in eastern Europe. Organisers at Bristol Stop the War Coalition have slammed the "deeply provocative and reckless" NATO for its part in the ongoing war and say the West "bears a heavy responsibility for the disaster".
They believe "Britain and the US have abandoned any suggestion of restraint" as the nations fund Ukraine's war effort against Russia. Western countries including the UK have continued to send defence supplies to Ukraine since the start of the conflict, and UK defence secretary Ben Wallace revealed last week that 50,000 artillery shells and hundreds more anti-tank weapons would be sent in the coming weeks.
