In Europe, protests broke out in London, Berlin, Madrid, and France. Many of the protesters, including Ukrainian expatriates, held slogans that wrote “Stop Russia Please” and “Ukraine will Resist”.
“I just felt I was useless sitting at home watching the news, here at least I can show there are people who support Ukraine, who are against war and who want Putin to be shown his place,” Yulia Tomashckuk, one of the protesters at London said.
The demonstrators called on Russia President Vladimir Putin to stop the missiles and troop assault and demanded for stricter sanctions and broader actions from their leaders.
