Russia has been condemned from all sections for carrying out full-scale military war in Ukraine, a former Soviet republic. People in Russia too have come out to call for an end of the war waged by Vladimir Putin.
While many world leaders have condemned Putin for his act, countries are expressing their support to Ukraine in different ways. In many countries, iconic building and historical monuments are lit up with the yellow and blue, colours of Ukrainian flag, to show solidarity with Kyiv.
Joining this, the Eiffel Tower lit up on Friday in the national blue-and-yellow colours of Ukraine, at the request of Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
Friday was the second day of invasion when Russian missiles pounded Kyiv, forcing people to take cover in shelters and authorities told people to prepare petrol bombs to defend their capital.
In the UK, the colours of the Ukrainian flag are projected onto the front of 10 Downing Street, the official residence of Prime Minister, in support of Ukraine, under attack from Russia.
Britain has imposed a biting package of sanctions on Russia that Prime Minister Boris Johnson said would degrade its economy "for years to come".
