Shortly after news broke of the Russian attack against Ukraine, demonstrators gathered outside Russian Embassies and other landmark spots in many parts of the world.

People waved yellow-blue Ukrainian flags and chanted pro-Ukraine slogans at the rallies on Thursday. Many of the demonstrators, including Ukrainian expats, held up banners saying “Ukraine will resist” and “Say No to Putin”.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy compared Russia’s invasion of the country to military campaigns carried out by Nazi Germany during World War II.

“Russia has attacked Ukraine in a cowardly and suicidal way like Nazi Germany did during World War II,” he said in an online briefing, during which he called on Ukrainians to “go out” and “protest against this war”.

Initial gra gra.

All women know how to do is protest. I thought they are equal to men.
What is stopping them from carrying AK47 to go and fight Putin?

i doubt if Putin plans on stopping, he adores loseb Stalin a lot, I have watched countless interviews which Putin always makes reference to Stalin’s quotes and ideology

Why don't you take it up against the Ukrainian government who made it compulsory to draft men because in the news Ukraine called on Reservists who also consist of women to come to fight the war.
Even women joined to collect weapons too.

Putin is a little bully who is only after his selfish benefit..only the blockheads who think he intend to make the world a greater place is what I pity..

A bloody dictator? Hitler comes to mind...same way he brainwashed his followers and destroyed them and his country..

Western bitches doing their masters bidding

Who will protest in support of Libya, Yemen, Palestine, former Yugoslavia, and all other oppressed people of the world.

Saudi Arabia is in bed with the west despite funding 9/11 and bombing Yemen at will, but who cares since they’re friends with the west.

It’s called “peace keeping “ when the west deploys her troop but an “invasion “ when another country does it.

I stand with the people of Ukraine

Seriously I still wonder why some Nigerians are happy about this killing in Ukraine? Whenever they hear Putin, they always supporting him. Animals in human nature full this Nigerian o.

God bless Ukraine.

Thunder fire Putin and all his supporters on Nairaland

Food no go enter my mouth until Putin beg Ukraine forgiveness... Who wan join me?

Our Nigerian Northern protesters did not show up this time because it is not Israel Vs Palestine

USA warns the world of Russia total invasion to Ukraine,

Buhari /Nigeria never join the protest

When I mentioned earlier that Ukraine will be left to fight against their foes alone. No one can afford the consequences of going all out against Russia, considering everyone is just trying to come back on their feet post-Covid.

Putin on is part doesn't care about sanctions...he doesn't care about the impact on ordinary Russians, the dude just doesn't want NATO in his backyard...i only pity ordinary Ukrainians.

Any military Intervention by the West means only one thing MAD (mutually assured destruction).

At this stage, only the top brass in Russia can stop Putin, if not, he is going all the way.

My prayers are with Ukrainians and our stranded stubborn countrymen in the country.

Senomii:

So when will russia cease fire? Or what would make them to

Although, it will be seen as an act of cowardice, a direct call from the Ukrainian President to Putin, will put an end to it. But the more Russia continue to win more territories within Ukraine, it will become more difficult to halt them? You can't smell victory and then pull back; Putin will want to takeover Ukraine once and for all. He needs to pick the phone and make the call now to save his people!

This one no be matter of rally and protest.

Make una head on to the frontlines carry weapons and fight on behalf of the Ukrainians.

And he will go the way Stalin went.....

I stand with Ukraine!!!

I stand with Ukraine

mizuna:
Putin dey laugh una. Serious laugh for that matter.

Even Russians in Russia are protesting against him.

The Muslims around the world came out in support of Palestine when the crisis escalated with Israel. Ukrainians lent their support some to Israel and some to Palestine. Now, where are all the Palestinian supporters who agitate against occupation? Where are all the media LovePeddler pundits? They stand on the sidelines mute because it is Russia.
The reason why the US and UK remain the best countries is that you can insult the leaders and still walk around freely. Those leaders loudly vocalizing support for Palestine suddenly prove that their entire struggle is religious and not about occupation.
