The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “The people of Ukraine have been through unimaginable pain and suffering over the last two years because of Putin’s illegal invasion.

“So many innocent lives have been needlessly taken away because of this ongoing war and, as we reach this horrendous second anniversary, my thoughts and prayers are with all those under attack, the millions who have had to flee their homes and everyone affected.

“Every day London stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. We will continue to stand side-by-side with you in the face of this barbaric oppression and I will do all I can to support and stand up for Ukrainians who have sought refuge in our city.” Photo by Francisco Anzola, Wikimedia commons.
