Photos of worldwide protests against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

People around the world are rallying in support of Ukraine after Russia launched its deadly invasion of Ukraine early Thursday morning. Russia’s full-scale military assault on the nation has put millions of lives at risk, forcing Ukrainians to flee to safety and seek shelter in underground subway stations. Despite tough sanctions and widespread condemnation from the international community, Russian troops entered Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, on Friday. Anti-war demonstrations are taking place in several countries, including the US, Turkey, France and Japan, with people carrying Ukrainian flags and signs of support and solidarity to express their outrage at the Russian invasion.
