Several hundred people marched in heavy rain in Sydney yesterday, chanting “Ukraine will prevail” and demanding more action against Moscow, while protesters in Tokyo called for Russia to be expelled from the UN Security Council.
The fresh protests came as Russian and Ukrainian forces clashed in fighting for Ukraine’s capital and after Russia vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution that would have deplored the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.
From Tokyo through Warsaw and London to New York City, thousands have protested in the past few days against the invasion, Europe’s biggest security crisis in decades.
