In Germany more than 100,000 people took to the streets of Berlin, many holding signs reading "I stand with Ukraine" or "Stop Putin."   Protesters are shocked by what's unfolding in their region. They are horrified, they can't believe what is unfolding.... Belarusian protesters in Lithuania were adamant to show Ukrainians they are not aligned with the actions of their government. There was expressions of solidarity from the United States as well, with activists in Washington calling on President Biden to send more assistance to Ukraine.
