March 12, 2022 - MANHATTAN, NY: Ukrainian supporters in NYC held a “Close the Sky” rally in Times Square on Saturday afternoon. Protesters chanting and holding blue & gold flags were demanding that NATO impose a no fly zone over Ukraine.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense has recently reported a shelling attack, where Russian forces killed seven people, including one child on Friday. According to reports, the group was trying to evacuate from the village of Peremoha through the "green" corridor.

The “green” corridor is an agreed upon “humanitarian” passage with the Russian Federation. The exact number of those wounded in the attack is still unknown.

Meanwhile in Manhattan, Ukrainian supporters could be heard chanting “Boycott Russia! Boycott Russia!” as hundreds protesting Russia demanded safety.

We spoke with Ukrainian supporter Olha Melska in Times Square who said that she tried to bring her friends to the rally, “I tried to bring my friends Americans and Stand with Ukraine️, I try to bring my friends who are Russian and Stand with Ukraine️" says Olha Melska at a solidarity rally with Ukraine.
