From London to Istanbul, Beirut to Berlin and Tokyo, protesters took to the streets, waving Ukrainian flags, holding placards that read, “Stop War”, “Stop Putin”, “Putler”, to denounce Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
In Syria, artists painted a mural condemning Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. In Athens demonstrators sang Ukraine’s national anthem, “Ukraine has not perished, not her glory, not her freedom.” In Warsaw, protesters set the Russian flag on fire.
Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station and other public buildings were lit up in the national colours of Ukraine’s flag - blue and yellow - as a show of support.
Overnight, Russia began an all-out invasion of Ukraine, with explosions and casualties reported in multiple cities and far outside the restive eastern regions held by Russian-backed rebels. European governments reacted with widespread condemnation and vows of more sanctions.
Images from across the globe capture the widespread dismay, anger, condemnation as well as solidarity with the Ukrainian people as the violence worsens and spreads across Ukraine.
