Global News
For a third day in a row, supporters gathered outside the Russian consulate downtown to show solidarity with Ukraine. It was organized by a Russian.
Dressed in blue and yellow and holding up signs while waving the Ukrainian flag for a third day in a row, Ukraine supporters rallied outside the Russian consulate in downtown Montreal.
“This is for Russian speakers to voice their disappointment and anger and displeasure with what the Russian government is doing,” says rally organizer Yuriy Novodvorskiy.
“It’s for them to show support with Ukraine.”
Novodvorskiy is from Russia and has only been in Canada for three years. He organized the rally because he says he is overcome with shame and sorrow.
“I have friends in Ukraine,” he says. “None of them are leaving. All of them are trying to get through this. Myself and everyone in my family are just horrified hoping that this thing doesn’t get worse and it’s over as soon as possible,” he added.
Saturday’s rally in Montreal is one of many around the world.
“It’s been really heartwarming to see millions, if not billions, of people across the world express their solidarity,” says supporter Michael Malone.
For others, being at the rally was very personal. Olena Pokhvalii came to Canada from Ukraine 10 years ago and still has family there.
