BERLIN—A demonstration against supplying Ukraine with weapons for war with Russia attracted 10,000 people on Saturday, drawing a large police presence to maintain order.

Organized by a prominent left-wing German politician, the protest comes a day after the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which drew promises of more weapons from western allies, fresh sanctions against Russia, and shows of support for Kyiv across the globe.
