The anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was marked by public events and demonstration in cities all over Europe in an outpouring of sympathy and support. In Berlin, London, Prague, Rome and other cities some peace protesters called for negotiations with Russia and an end to military aid for Ukraine. In some cases protesters also voiced additional demands for combating poverty, for higher wages or other issues of local significance. Most of these events were organised by representatives of far left, far right, nationalist or populist movements.<\/span><\/p>\n Russian media and propaganda channels presented the demonstrations as massive popular events in support of Russia, against sanctions, aid for Ukraine and NATO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That interpretation of events is also being spread among Bulgarian social media users. Widely shared Facebook posts suggest that an authentic large-scale civil movement sympathising with Russia in its aggression against Ukraine is developing in Europe. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\r\n
