The protesters marched under the flags of India, Ukraine and Lithuania. From children to the Lithuanian Ambassador to India, Julius Pranavicius, joined the protest.
Participants in the coalition argued that war would not benefit anyone and that the devastation of war would orphan nations.
Russia’s occupation of Ukraine has displaced more than a million people. Tens of thousands were killed. Many villages and towns were completely wiped out.
Refugees from Ukraine are fleeing for their lives to the West as Russia launches attacks from the east, north and south of the country.
Thousands of children were orphaned. Like Kiev and Sumi, bombs are still being dropped and thousands of cities in bunkers are entering their twelfth day without water and food.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. The country is almost completely under war today.
NATO, the US and the European Union are reacting cautiously to the war, fearing it could lead to another world war.
Putin has already declared war on NATO and Russia over the lifting of airstrikes over Ukraine.
It is in this context that the demand for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war is rising from all over the world. The Lithuanian ambassador to one of Ukraine’s neighboring countries led the protest.
Lithuanian Ambassador to India Julius Pranavicius said that countries including India should intervene to end the war. The group also decided to intensify anti-war protests in the coming days.
