Ukrainians in Liverpool told of their heartache and "feeling helpless" over the safety of family and friends as they gathered to protest the Russian invasion.
Around a dozen Ukrainians led a demonstration outside of Liverpool Town Hall on Castle Street to condemn the Russian invasion.
Chanting "stop Putin, stop the war" and "Putin hands off Ukriane" many cars driving past beeped their horns while passers-by shouted in support.
