Hundreds of Ukrainians and their supporters denounced Russian aggression at San Francisco's Embarcadero Plaza on Saturday.
SAN FRANCISCO — As the crisis in Ukraine escalated Saturday, hundreds of Ukrainians and their supporters gathered at San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza. The sheer brutality of Russia’s attack has shocked the world community and there is a call to take action now before it’s too late.
Video showed Russian forces moving into Ukraine, often randomly attacking civilian targets, in mayhem reminiscent of the Nazis’ blitzkrieg of European nations in the 1930s. Margarita Osipov was in tears as she gazed out at the crowd. She is of mixed nationality and was so torn up that she actually said she felt guilty about being able to speak Russian.
“I’m almost crying. It’s devastating, it’s really devastating,” he said. “I have friends in Ukraine, lots of relatives in Ukraine, and it just blows my mind. There’s no goddam reason for this to happen! I think the guy is just insane. I mean, he’s out of his mind.”
