Angelenos Take to the Streets for Ukraine

Above, Liisa Jokinen holds up two feathers in Los Angeles on Feb. 26. Visiting Los Angeles from Finland, she found these feathers while looking for blue and yellow things she could use to show her support for Ukraine. She fears that if Russia is successful in this war, they might move forward to the Baltic States, and Finland. (Anna Sophia Moltke | The Corsair)

Shaking, hearing the missiles and airplanes flying over their houses, and not knowing what to say to their kids.” Liza Svietna (left) said, “I have been shaking for 30 hours now. I haven’t gotten any sleep, and I don’t want to. I am afraid of waking up and receiving other messages that I don’t want to see.” Rally for Ukraine, Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles, on Thursday, Feb. 24. (Anna Sophia Moltke | The Corsair)
