As the invasion of Ukraine hits its 3-year mark, anti-war protesters are seen placing flowers in Moscow. This is a rare scene in Russia, where any acts of dissent are tightly controlled.

Protests supporting Ukraine were held in various cities across Europe on Sunday, February 23, a day before the three-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion on Monday. In Paris, over 10,000 of people gathered at Place de la République and marched to Place de la Bastille in support of Ukraine.
