Participants carry a giant Ukrainian flag to mark the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in front of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw on February 24. Anti-war demonstrations were held in many European capitals, where landmarks were lit up in the colors of the Ukrainian flag on February 24 as the world marked the one-year anniversary of Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, and the National Theatre in Warsaw were among the European monuments illuminated in blue and yellow. In Berlin, activists placed a wrecked Russian tank in front of the Russian Embassy, and crowds observed a moment of silence at Tallinn’s Freedom Square, where European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg joined a ceremony for the fallen. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also observed a moment of silence in front of Downing Street, where two singers dressed in traditional Ukrainian vyshyvanka shirts sang the Ukrainian anthem.
