People pray for peace at Ukraine Embassy in Tokyo: Marche 12, 2022

  

More than two weeks have passes since the first day of Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Cities have been destroyed in Ukraine; many people have been killed; and millions of people have fled from the country.

I visited the Ukraine embassy in central Tokyo. It is a small embassy in a residential area.

Photos of the war were displayed on the walls. Yellow and blow flowers were placed on the table at the entrance. (See the top photo)

Several people were there. They prayed for peace and left messages in the message cards. So did I. (See also the 2nd photo)

 

I also visited the Russian embassy. It is a big facility.

There were several small groups protesting against the Russian invasion.

 

There are many policemen and police cars around the embassy. It was probably to prevent violent actions by demonstrators or political groups.

Large-size demonstrations were held on several days, including Feb. 26 and 27, in several areas in Tokyo.

It looks that many Japanese people are still overwhelmed with the large-scale war.
