      Difference is, the number in Poland i cited is for entire country, and with the demonstrations being organised by government, for the issue government and media push 24/7 for the last year, which is supposedly completely embraced and popular among people, and there is over 5 millions Ukrainians in Poland who should be most interested in participating.

      Number 50000* in such conditions is absolutely pathetic, again, even if just the Ukrainians showed up, that would be less than 1% of them. For comparison, when Cuban govt is organising, 1-2 million people in Havana is not rare thing.

      While the people in Berlin manifested obviously against their government, institutions and media, even got called “Putin activists” = “traitors” for putting flowers on the tank. That’s like marching for Jews day after kristallnacht. In such conditions 50000 is many - and this was not the only manifestation in Germany that day, i don’t know the overall number.

      *could be more, could be less, i did extrapolated roughly from the photos, and taken a margin of safety, since the manifestations laster few hours. And the photos were complete shit, barely anything was visible, only in two cities there was relatiely good photo.
