Spanish village changes its name to Ukraine in show of solidarity

A cyclist rides past a street sign that reads 'City of Kyiv Street' after it was changed from the original name, as other street names were also changed to include names of Ukrainian cities in support of Ukraine, amid Russia's invasion, in the town of Fuentes de Andalucia, near Seville, southern Spain, April 16, 2022. The sign reads, "Numantine resistance of a town against the Russian invader". REUTERS/Jon Nazca
