Ukraine’s flag colours were projected on the Russian embassy in Lisbon
The protest was anonymous and lasted only a few minutes, but it was enough to attract attention and be shared on social media.
Last Monday night, the facade of the Russian embassy in the Portuguese capital was illuminated with the colours of Ukraine. The unusual moment occurred shortly after 10 pm, with a group of young people projecting the Ukrainian flag from a van.
The protest was anonymous and lasted only a few minutes, but it was enough to attract attention and be shared on social media.

Russia launched a military offensive in Ukraine in the early hours of February 24 which, according to the Kyiv authorities, has already caused more than 2,000 deaths among the civilian population.
The attacks have also caused more than 1.5 million people to flee to neighbouring countries, according to the UN.
The Russian invasion was condemned by the international community in general, which responded by sending arms to Ukraine and strengthening economic sanctions against Moscow.
