The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine has been going on for two years.
There are protests again on the anniversary.
But not everything is allowed when it comes to the dignity of the Russian embassy.
Berlin - A video projection of war images onto the Russian embassy building in Berlin remains permanently banned.
The Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court has confirmed a decision of the lower court in an expedited procedure, a court spokeswoman announced on Wednesday.
The court justified its decision by saying that the planned projection violates the embassy's protection of peace and dignity under international law by using its property as a projection surface without its consent.

During its demonstration on the second anniversary of the Russian attack on Ukraine this Saturday, the Ukrainian association Vitsche wanted to project photos and videos of the war onto the embassy for an hour.
The police banned that.
That's why the organizers went to court.
Several demonstrations and rallies against Russia and President Vladimir Putin as well as in solidarity with the people of Ukraine have been announced for Saturday.
Some events are planned around the Russian embassy Unter den Linden in Berlin-Mitte.
