Ukraine attack: Thousands rally in multiple countries in opposition to Russian invasion

The yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag flew through various cities on Thursday as thousands came out in opposition to the Russian military attack in Ukraine.

From New York City and The Hague, Netherlands to Tel Aviv, Israel and Warsaw, Poland, people rallied in support of Ukraine, angered by the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin who launched an invasion of the Eastern European country early Thursday morning local time.

"I was born in Ukraine... but today I think everybody is Ukrainian," Ivana Lotoshynski, a U.S. citizen born in Ukraine, said as she was joined by many in Times Square. "It doesn't matter where you were born, where you live, people are losing their lives right now."

People living in the various cities, having originally come from Ukraine, also expressed worry for their families, while others said their family would not run away.

"My son said he will go and shoot, he will not run away," Mayya Temriy said. "No one in my family will run away, not even my sister. She also said she is going to shoot."
