Some demonstrators held signs saying "Georgia Ukrainians Unite" At least 200 Ukrainians have been killed as a result of the Russian invasion as of Saturday evening. Meanwhile, around 1,100 civilians have been injured following the bombings.
Western officials believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is determined to overthrow Ukraine’s government and replace it with a regime of his own, redrawing the map of Europe and reviving Moscow’s Cold War-era influence.
To aid Ukraine’s ability to hold out, the U.S. pledged an additional $350 million in military assistance to Ukraine, including anti-tank weapons, body armor and small arms.
