Ukrainians called for a no-fly zone to be created over their country during a peaceful protest in Newcastle this weekend.
Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky has said the West's reluctance to impose the measure has given President Putin of Russia the 'green light' to bomb the country.
Protesters demonstrating by Grey's Monument in Newcastle on Saturday carried placards calling for more action, including calls echoing Mr Zelensky's request for NATO to create a no-fly zone, which would ban Russian planes from Ukrainian airspace, with a threat to shoot down any aircraft ignoring the measure.
