Ivan has the nerve to request protection for their personnel in DC and Ottawa, meanwhile bombing civilian targets in Ukraine.

During a meeting with U.S. ambassador John Sullivan in Moscow, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov commented on demonstrations outside its embassy in Washington D.C. He asked Sullivan to ensure the safety of workers at the facility. Ryabkov also called in Canada’s ambassador to Moscow over demonstrations in Ottawa and two other consulates.

Russian embassies have seen protests at several facilities where crowds have gathered to denounce Russia’s military intervention in the neighboring country. In London, protesters recently threw eggs at the Russian embassy during a gathering. Putin has even come under fire from some of his own citizens, who have staged anti-war demonstrations in several Russian cities since the invasion began last week.”

“We have sympathy for the Ukrainians, perhaps more than other countries, because we’ve experienced Russia’s barbaric aggression on our soil,” 32-year-old Georgian taxi driver Niko Tvauri told AFP.

Georgian Teacher Meri Tordia added: “Ukraine is bleeding [and] the world watches and talks about sanctions that won’t stop Putin.” Even the Iranians are aghast.

The Slovak tabloid Nový čas published Putin’s photo edited to look like Hitler with the term ‘Putler’ on its cover. Similar photos were also published by the British tabloid Daily Star (which called Putin “bloody Vlad”) and by the Italian newspaper La Ragione.

Ukrainians gathered at St. Nicholas Cathedral in Mapo District, Seoul, South Korea, praying for the peace of their motherland. After the prayer, they raised the Ukrainian flag. More than 100,000 gathered in Berlin to protest against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Instead of the traditional Carnival parade Kölner Rosenmontagszug, which had been cancelled due to COVID-19 a few days earlier, more than 250,000 (instead of the anticipated 30,000) gathered in Cologne in a peace march to protest against the Russian invasion.” Yup, you’re gonna need that protection for quite a while, you murdering swine.
