PARIS, 07 March 2022, (TON): Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in cities from Paris to New York in support of Ukraine, demanding an end to Russia’s invasion.
Citizens worldwide have been horrified by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attack, which began on February 24 and appeared to be entering a new phase with escalating bombardment.
According to interior ministry estimates “around 41,600 people demonstrated in 119 protests in towns and cities across France.”
In Paris itself, some 16,000 turned out.
“Despite the suffering, we are going to win, we are sure of it,” said Nataliya, a Franco-Ukrainian with the blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag draped over shoulders, at the Paris protest.
She declined to give her full name because of concerns about the safety of her son in Ukraine.
She added “we are proud of their courage, their determination.”
