Ukrainians descended upon Times Square on Sunday in hopes of shedding light on the high death toll of animals amid the ongoing, bloody conflict in Russia.
Ukrainian New Yorkers sheathed themselves in the iconic yellow and blue flags and waved those same colors under the bright lights of Times Square on Feb. 5. While they strive to remind the world of war crimes they say Russia is committing in their homeland and on their countrymen, they also looked to showcase the harm being done to animals.
