According to a PolitNavigator correspondent, the rally was held by activists of the Voice of Odessa organization near the Odessa House of Officers, where a press conference was planned in connection with the start of the Sea Breeze 2014 naval exercises. The protesters held in their hands numerous anti-NATO posters: “No NATO!”, “We’ll figure it out without NATO!”, “Odessa is against the EU and NATO!”, “NATO, hands off Ukraine!”, “NATO - Yugoslavia, we remember! ", "A real Odessa resident will not invite NATO into his house!", "Where there is NATO, there is war!"
The speakers noted the obvious anti-Russian orientation of this military bloc, recalled NATO aggression, which led to devastation, misery and poverty in many countries, in particular Iraq, Libya, and also accused NATO of inciting war in Ukraine. In addition, people chanted anti-NATO slogans.
The rally was not without incidents; the police managed to prevent clashes with the Right Sector group, which was rallying nearby in support of the Ukrainian army and the ATO. The latter wanted to approach their opponents and sort things out, but the law enforcement cordon was secure, so after shouting a little and singing the anthem, the nationalists dispersed.
As PolitNavigator reported, the Sea Breeze exercises started yesterday, in which Ukrainians are also taking part along with NATO warships.
