According to the organisers, the march was aimed not only at expressing solidarity with the Ukrainian people, but also at encouraging European politicians to take real steps to support Ukraine.

Another goal of the march was to inspire people and prepare the conditions for an even longer European march in support of Ukraine - from Germany to Lviv in Ukraine.
