Tens of thousands of people took to the streets to join antiwar demonstrations across Europe on Sunday as Russia continued its deadly assault on Ukraine, bombarding major cities and intensifying a humanitarian crisis that is having reverberating effects worldwide.
In addition to protests in Berlin, London, Warsaw and Madrid — where participants carried signs and banners that read "Stop the War" and "Peace and Solidarity for the People in Ukraine" — demonstrations sprang up on a smaller scale in occupied Ukrainian cities and in Moscow, despite the threat of arrest and police brutality.
