Poland is one of the country’s strongest supporters of Ukraine, with strong domestic opposition to Russia’s aggression. It has hosted millions of refugees since the invasion began.

Many of the protesters wore Ukrainian flags and held placards reading “Russia is a terrorist state”.
A 40-year-old tax accountant said, “We want Russia to be designated as a terrorist state because it bombs innocent civilians.”
