Thousands of people gathered in Boston on Sunday to protest Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, voice their support for the Ukrainian people and call for peace.
Organized by Northeastern University student and Ukrainian native Diana Zlotnikova, the demonstration brought crowds through the streets of the Back Bay. Folks—many of whom were carrying the flag of this currently war-torn nation (as well as signs criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin)—made their way from the Public Garden to the Common during the afternoon.
The march ended at the State House, where everyone stood and shared how this act of aggression has impacted them. People participating included Ukrainians who are fearful for their friends and family members back home, Russians who are criticizing their country’s government and other protestors from around the world.
Here are some of the best images giving a look into Boston’s march in support of Ukraine this weekend. While local voices were heard, there is still much more action to be taken to support Ukraine, so do consider these ways to help.
