Ukrainian-Chilean families protest in Santiago

Dozens have gathered in front of the Russian embassy in Santiago to denounce the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with protesters – including Ukrainian residents of Chile – unfurling a large banner in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

Some lay down, clutching stuffed animals to honour the child victims of the war. A large banner read, “Stand with Ukraine.”

“We are doing everything possible to help my people,” said Alina Prus, a Ukrainian resident in Chile. “Being here for many of us is a very emotional situation. Several of us have our families who are now living the horror of what war means.”

Zelenskyy: ‘It is important to stop this war’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is committed to pressing for peace as he renewed his plea for countries to send more weapons ahead of an expected surge in fighting in the country’s east.

He made the comments in an interview with The Associated Press a day after at least 52 people were killed in a strike on a train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk.

“No one wants to negotiate with a person or people who tortured this nation. It’s all understandable. And as a man, as a father, I understand this very well,” Zelenskyy said. But “we don’t want to lose opportunities, if we have them, for a diplomatic solution”.

“We have to fight, but fight for life. You can’t fight for dust when there is nothing and no people. That’s why it is important to stop this war,” he said.

Displaced Ukrainian football club opens tour

Ukrainian football club, Shakhtar Donetsk, has opened a series of charity games on a government-backed “Global Tour for Peace” wearing the names of heavily bombarded cities on its jerseys.

The tour by the club aims to raise money for Ukraine’s military in the war against Russia, and also help Ukrainian refugees displaced by the war.

Its first game on Saturday was a 1-0 loss to Greek league leader Olympiakos.

Football clubs around Europe have been offering to play games against Ukrainian clubs and host youth players after Russia’s invasion in February.

Russia’s ‘imperial illusions’ must be defeated: Ukraine

Ukranian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak says President Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not meet until after the country defeated Russia in the east, which would bolster its negotiating position.

“We are paying a very high price. But Russia must get rid of its imperial illusions,” he said, according to the Interfax Ukraine news agency.

Ukrainian officials have urged civilians in the east of the country to flee. On Friday, officials said more than 50 people were killed in a missile strike on a train station in city of Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region, where thousands of people had gathered to evacuate.
