Giant Ukrainian flag painted by protesters outside Russian Embassy in London

Four people have been arrested after the campaign group Led By Donkeys painted a Ukrainian flag on the road outside the Russian Embassy in London. The group claimed responsibility for the 500 square metre blue and yellow flag, painted on Bayswater Road in London on Thursday, saying they did it to mark Friday's first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "Tomorrow is the first anniversary of Putin's imperialist invasion of Ukraine," the group said in a statement. "Contrary to what the Russian dictator and his apologists claim, Ukraine is an independent state and a people with every right to self-determination. "The existence of a massive Ukrainian flag outside his embassy in London will serve to remind him of that."
