Hundreds of protesters gathered at Garmisch-Partenkirchen resort town, just a few miles away from the Group of Seven (G7) summit's venue, Bavaria’s Schloss Elmau hotel, to protest against NATO expansion through Ukraine, Sputnik News reports.
"NATO wants to expand through Ukraine, it has changed the political system in Kiev that will act in the interest of the European Union and NATO bloc," one of the activists in the protest noted.
As Sputnik News reports, hundreds of protesters from from different parts of the world, including such remote countries as Honduras and Australia, came to protest in the meeting. In spite of tightened security thousands of protesters are still arriving to the area by cars, trains and by foot from the surrounding area.
