Leila Antonovsk, 28, a Ukrainian living in Argentina, fears for the safety of her mother back in Odessa some 12,642 kilometers (7,855 miles) away after an invasion of the Eastern European country by Russian forces this week.
"My mom is in Ukraine right now, in Odessa, and yesterday she woke up with bombs falling," said Antonovsk who was protesting on Friday at the Russian embassy in Buenos Aires.
