Anti-war protesters in Newcastle warned a military response to Russia's 'barbaric' invasion of Ukraine could risk sparking all-out nuclear war.
On Sunday, a crowd gathered on Grey Street, in Newcastle, to call for peace and oppose sending troops to Ukraine or imposing a 'no-fly zone' in a bid to end Russian aggression.
The Newcastle event coincided with 'Stop the War' rallies across the country. In London, demonstrators filled Trafalgar Square to wave flags and banners, chanting, “Stop Putin, stop the war.”
