NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – Hundreds of people demonstrated in New York against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. With Ukrainian flags and posters, they gathered on Thursday and Friday night in Manhattan, including in Times Square, in front of the Russian consulate and the United Nations. Long queues formed in front of the city’s numerous Ukrainian restaurants and bars.
Around 150,000 Ukrainians live in the metropolis on the US east coast, according to Mayor Eric Adams the largest such group in the US. “Our city stands with them,” Adams wrote on Twitter. “This unprovoked and unjustifiable invasion of their homeland is an attack on freedom.”/cah/DP/ngu
