Hundreds of Victorians joined in a rally to support Ukraine on Sunday, 20 February.
The rally was organised by Association of Ukrainians in Australia to “show solidarity with Ukraine and support for its rightful independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders, including Crimea and the temporarily occupied regions of eastern Ukraine.”
In recent weeks, according to US intelligence, Moscow has massed an invasion force of troops, tanks, missile batteries and warships around Ukraine's borders in Belarus, Russia, Crimea and the Black Sea.
Despite many meetings with several world leaders and US special intelligence sources, Mr Putin and his government continue to deny any intention to invade Ukraine.
