At a time when so-called peace negotiations are taking place — including open bargaining over Ukrainian land — the human cost of Russia’s war is being sidelined. Occupation, destruction, power cuts, shelling and advancing frontline continue to define daily life for people in Ukraine. We believe it is vital to demand a just peace for Ukraine and accountability for Russia’s war crimes.

Our message is clear: Unpunished evil grows. Russian troops out!



This protest is called by Vsesvit, Campaign for Ukraine, and Ukraine Solidarity Campaign. Hromada collective joined with a live Ukrainian folk singing performance.
