Where are the Ukraine protests? Tracking anti-Russia rallies around the globe

Last edited Sun Mar 6, 2022, 03:50 AM - Edit history (1)



More than 1 million people in nearly 200 cities around the world have gathered to protest the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On six continents they marched in streets, stood in city squares and gathered near embassies to support Ukraine and to oppose war.

Every neighboring country of Ukraine has held a major protest, including Belarus and Russia. Some cities had major turnouts with thousands of demonstrators.

In Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, nearly 1% of the country's population rallied in support of Ukraine. Georgia was also invaded by Russia in 2008. The Abkhazia and South Ossetia territories, considered by most countries as part of Georgia, were recognized by Russia as independent states after the Russo-Georgian War.

Eighty thousand people turned out in one of the main city squares in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. In 1968, Soviet-led armies of the Warsaw Pact invaded Czechoslovakia, crushing the Prague Spring democratic reform movement and restoring the totalitarian communist regime.
