Thousands of protesters march in Tel Aviv against the Russian invasion • Protest also in the government compound in Haifa • Similar demonstrations took place during the day in a long line of cities in Europe including London, Nicosia, Berlin, Athens, Helsinki, Madrid and Milan
Tonight (Saturday night) thousands of demonstrators came to demonstrate in support of Ukraine in Tel Aviv and Haifa. The demonstrators carried Ukrainian flags and protested against the Russian invasion. The protesters chanted “Respect for Ukraine” and “Putin is not afraid of you.”
Such demonstrations were recorded during the day in a long line of cities in Europe. The demonstrators wore clothes or wore fabrics in the colors of the Ukrainian national flag – light blue and yellow – protested in London, Nicosia, Berlin, Athens, Helsinki, Madrid and Milan, among others. Many of them wore signs that read “Stop the War” or “Stop Putin,” and in many of the signs Putin was compared to the Nazi tyrant Adolf Hitler.
In Tel Aviv, the protesters marched on Rothschild Boulevard towards the Russian embassy and finally gathered in Habima Square as the police closed the representation area on Hayarkon Street. A demonstrator who immigrated to Israel from Azerbaijan 32 years ago told Vint: “I came here to tell the Russians that an invasion of a sovereign state is insolent and there is no justification for it.” “It is infuriating that our government is unwilling to support the Ukrainian people. The fear of expressing injustice clearly is cowardly behavior,” she said.
Another demonstrator, whose son and cousin got stuck near Kharkiv, told Israel Today: “The world must stop Putin the killer. Anyone who can help and has a human heart must help us. These are the darkest and most difficult days since World War II and if it is He will not be arrested – this will be a tragedy for generations. ”
In the third day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the main effort was concentrated around Kiev and attempts to parachute forces into the suburbs to take over the capital. However, the Kremlin’s plans to invade and occupy Bezeq were thwarted by fierce opposition from the Ukrainian army and civilian militias that resulted in heavy casualties in soldiers and equipment.
At the same time, tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees are trying to cross the border in the only direction they have left following the Russian crown on the country: west towards Poland. In the morning, Ukrainian President Zlinsky released further documentation from Kiev as proof that he was still alive.
