WARSAW (Reuters) – Thousands of protesters gathered in front of the Russian embassy in Warsaw Wednesday to demand that Russia be designated as a terrorist state and expel its diplomats. At least 11 people were killed in missile attacks on several Ukrainian cities.
Poland is one of the country’s strongest supporters of Ukraine, with strong internal opposition to Russian aggression. It has hosted millions of refugees since the invasion began.
“My whole family stayed in Ukraine.
Many of the protesters wore Ukrainian flags and held signs reading “Russia is a terrorist state”.
A 40-year-old tax accountant said: “We want Russia to be designated as a terrorist state because it bombs innocent civilians.”
Representatives of the organizers of the event said that the number of participants was about 2,000. A police spokesperson declined to comment on how many people attended.
