Edinburgh is speaking.
UKRAINE
A Photostory
On March 9, Nicola Sturgeon met Senia Urquhart and other members of the Ukrainian community at the Edinburgh Ukrainian Club.
Graffiti artist "Slava Ukraine," which means "glory to Ukraine" and can be seen on the Union Canal Walk near the Leamington Lift bridge, is displaying support for Ukraine.
In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, new street art sprouted in Edinburgh's Leith neighborhood. The artwork depicts a Nightingale, Ukraine's official national bird, against the country's flag.
On Morningside Road, I discovered a little fundraising exhibit inside an organic food store.
As a show of sympathy for the people of Ukraine and its president, a street in Edinburgh has been informally titled 'Volodymyr Zelenskyy Street.' The sign is on Windsor Street, where the Ukrainian consulate is located.
I observed this banner on one of the flat buildings within an alleyway while going along Morningside road.
