The colours of the Ukrainian flag were beamed onto Russia’s London embassy in protest against Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion on Sunday.
In a video, posted by the Frontline Club, the embassy can be seen lit up in yellow and blue while a group of protesters, also from the group, stand in front of the building.
The group, joined by actress Rosamund Pike, protested against the killing of journalists reporting on the war. They unveiled a banner which read “Straight from The Frontline” as they held pictures of journalists who had died, outside the embassy in Kensington.
Speaking at the protest, Pike told Byline news: “Journalists tell us the truth from the ground, they bear witness to what is going on and they report without bias or prejudice.
“For that truth they are so often killed. It happens all over the world and it is happening in Ukraine. Journalists are being targeted and are not being killed through accident.”
Last week, Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshinova were killed by Russian artillery fire.
Their vehicle was hit in the north-eastern part of Gorenka, a village near Kyiv.
Fox News presenter Bill Hemmer said: “Pierre Zakrzewski was an absolute legend at this network and his loss is devastating.
“He has been with us for years, covering wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Our CEO Susanne Scott noted a few moments ago that Pierre jumped in to help out with all sorts of roles in the field - photographer and engineer and editor and producer and he did it all under immense pressure and with tremendous skill.”
US journalist Brent Renaud, 50, was killed in Irpin by Russian forces and had been working on a project for Time.
TIME editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal said in a statement: “We are devastated by the loss of Brent Renaud.
“As an award-winning filmmaker and journalist, Brent tackled the toughest stories around the world often alongside his brother Craig Renaud.
“In recent weeks, Brent was in the region working on a TIME Studios project focused on the global refugee crisis. Our hearts are with all of Brent’s loved ones.
“It is essential that journalists are able to safely cover this ongoing invasion and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.”
