One thing quickly became clear on this thundery Thursday evening: no one wants to leave it unclear whose side the city of Osnabrück and the jury of the Erich Maria Remarque Peace Prize are on. Right at the start of the event in the Osnabrückhalle, where the Russian writer Lyudmila Ulitzkaja will accept the prize worth 25,000 euros, Mayor Katharina Pötter said: “The city is on the side of Ukraine. Russia is the perpetrator and Ukraine is the victim .”
