On Wednesday evening, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on global citizens to come to their squares and streets to protest for an end to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Show your strength. You can come from your offices, homes, schools and universities. Come in peace. Zelenskyy said in a video published by Ukraine's foreign affairs ministry that he wanted to support life, freedom, and Ukrainian symbols.
He said that people matter, freedom matters, peace matters, and Ukraine matters.
Zelenskyy said that from March 24 in downtowns of your cities, they would stop the war.
March 24, or Thursday, is the one-month anniversary of the declaration of a special military operation by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy said in his address on Wednesday that the one month of fighting was only the beginning for Russia on the Ukrainian land.

He said that Russia was trying to defeat the freedom of all people in Europe. It tries to show that people don't matter, as well as everything else that makes us people.
The capital of Kyiv is one of the major population centers that have been held back by Ukrainian forces. Zelenskyy and the US government have condemned the strikes on Ukrainian cities as war crimes.
The UN said that the toll of Ukrainian civilian casualties is likely much higher.
