Since yesterday, dozens of Montreal demonstrators have been gathering in front of the Russian consulate to protest the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
In Montreal for six years, Ninel Strelkovska is sorry for the state of her native country: “For three days, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, drink or work.”
“All of my loved ones are in immense danger,” she said.
She tries to write emails to members of parliament for a ray of hope, but without result.
Dominika Konevyck, a Montreal teenager of Ukrainian origin, is worried about her family.
“I worry about my cousins, my aunts… Just last summer, I was in Ukraine. Ukraine was very beautiful, very lively. Now someone comes and destroys all the work,” she explains.
