Protest in Kyiv: Participants’ Demands

“Don’t trust international criminal Putin.”
Participants of the rally actively signed letters addressed to U.S. President Donald Trump. In their appeals, they urged Trump to demand from Putin not a territorial exchange, but the return of prisoners based on the principle of “all for all.”
