Demonstrations and rallies were held in Japanese cities after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Protest rallies have been held in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Both cities were bombed during World War II.
Dozens of people gather in front of the historic atomic bomb dome in Hiroshima.
They carried placards that read in English, "Stop the War," and "Nuclear Weapons and War Unacceptable." It was a protest against Russian aggression and the threat of nuclear war.
Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that his country was still a major nuclear power.
After the Russian invasion, the rhetoric of the United States and NATO has angered the President of Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky complained to the international community that "we have been left alone."
Russia, on the other hand, responded to Ukraine's call for talks by saying that talks would take place after Ukrainian forces surrendered.
