This year, police have once again banned Russian flags, military uniforms, placards featuring the letters V or Z, and other symbols and signs that could be seen as glorifying Russia's war against Ukraine near Soviet memorials. Russian military marches and songs are also banned.
Wednesday begins with a large demonstration in Treptower Park entitled The 79th Anniversary of Liberation from Fascism – Thank You to the Liberators, in which 200 people will take part. Throughout the day, left-wing and communist groups, as well as representatives of district authorities, will lay wreaths at memorials in various locations in Berlin.
Supporters of Ukraine have announced that there will be a demonstration in the government quarter: "Peace for Europe! Russian soldiers out of Ukraine".

A 1,000-strong rally is set to take place at 11:30 on Strasse des 17 Juni (17 June Street), which runs through the Tiergarten, to commemorate the Soviet soldiers who died during World War II. At noon, a left-wing demonstration will march from Friedrichshain to Treptower Park. A similar event is planned around the Brandenburg Gate from 17:00.
In addition, the Night Wolves, a group of pro-Putin bikers, are expected to arrive in Berlin on Thursday.
