Paris lights up Eiffel Tower in colours of Ukraine flag

PARIS (Reuters) – Paris lit up the Eiffel Tower in the blue-and-yellow colours of the Ukraine flag on Thursday, as Ukraine’s allies around the world prepared to mark one-year of the war between Ukraine and Russia.

In Britain, Londoners also gathered in Trafalgar Square to hold a vigil on behalf of Ukraine, to mark the first anniversary of the war, after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.
