Ukraine supporters in Europe, the US and Australia protest US policy toward Russia
Pro-Ukraine demonstrations took place in more than ten cities. Participants condemned US moves to ease sanctions on Russia and to press Kyiv into concessions.
Pro-Ukraine demonstrations have been held in more than ten cities across Europe, the United States and Australia. Protesters condemned US actions that ease sanctions on Russia while pushing the Ukrainian government to make concessions, even as Russia's war against Ukraine continues.
What the protesters object to
Participants objected to what they see as US accommodation of Moscow. Their criticism centred on two steps: relaxing sanctions on Russia, and pressuring Kyiv to give ground before the war has ended.
The message of the protests is captured in a statement quoted in the headline of the report: Ukraine's future cannot be the subject of agreements between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
What is known about the events
The source says only that the demonstrations took place in more than ten cities and covered Europe, the US and Australia. It does not name the specific cities, give attendance figures or identify the organisers.
The rallies show that Ukraine's supporters abroad are responding to a shift in US policy toward Russia and the war in Ukraine.
