Montreal marchers call for more support of Ukraine
Global News
Over 100 Montrealers marched on St. Catherine street's busy corners in support of Ukraine. They're demanding more help from the West.
A few hundred demonstrators in support of Ukraine took to downtown streets this afternoon to demand the western world take more action against Russia.
From Guy to Union, groups of protestors stood on each busy corner of St. Catherine street waving flags and holding signs to get the attention of Sunday shoppers.
“We need the help of the western world to just stop watching,” says Michael Shwec, the president of the Quebec Ukranian Canadian Congress.
“The west has done a lot up until now in terms of helping arm (Ukraine) but more is needed.”
Shwec would like to see immediate action. “The western world needs to help and create the no-fly zone right now.”
Many of the demonstrators taking part in Sunday’s protest have family in Ukraine. Some have been lucky enough to get family to safety. Oleg Smolovyk brought his mother to Canada.
“It took six days to take from Kiev to Montreal and she’s very tired. She’s 75 years old so it was very difficult travel for her,” says Smolovyk.
Others families haven’t been so lucky.
