New York’s Empire State Building was also lit up in blue and yellow last week, with crowds gathering in Times Square on Saturday to protest the Russian invasion.

One protester, Olga Ladygima, told CNN she hadn’t slept for the past three nights. She is from Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, she said – and her friends in Ukraine have also stayed awake, making pipe bombs in an attempt to stop Russian tanks.
