NEW YORK, United States – Thousands of people gathered Saturday in Times Square in New York in support of Ukraine, demanding the United States, NATO or the European Union intervene to stop the unfolding war.
The iconic New York square, known for its giant billboards, was a sea of blue and yellow, the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Protesters of all ages waved signs for hours calling for the end of the war, a no-fly zone over Ukraine and to simply “stop Putin,” with some photo collages comparing Russian President Vladimir Putin to Hitler.
Protester Tania Schneider, 32, called for “more military support, more humanitarian aid, medical aid, more ammunition, just support in general.”Another demonstrator was Vasyl Koval, 31. The web developer, who had left his parents in Ukraine, came to Times Square to demand that Western nations “close the sky” over his home country to Russian fighter jets.
