Yvonne Strahovski Marched With Torontonians At A Protest For Ukraine This Weekend

The Handmaid's Tale actress came out and showed her support.

Yvonne Strahovski joined thousands of Torontonians in a march for Ukraine to protest Russia's invasion of the country this weekend.

The Australian actress, known for her work in The Handmaid's Tale and The Tomorrow War, posted a slideshow of photos on Sunday of herself attending a protest for Ukraine in downtown Toronto.

In her post, Strahovski can be seen marching alongside Torontonians in a face mask with Ukraine's colours painted on the right side and a streak of red on the left.

The actress posted several images and a video of people marching in the streets waving flags and holding signs, all in support of Ukraine.

One picture in her post features a protesters sign which reads "Stand with Ukraine." Strahovski captioned the post, "Today Toronto marched #ukraina #stoimyzukrainą 💔."

According to Ukraine's foreign minister, Russia attacked Ukraine last week in a "full-scale invasion" on February 24.

Since Russia's initial invasion, President Vladimir Putin has alluded to the potential use of nuclear weapons and received mass criticism from countries in the West for escalating the already fraught situation.

Protests for Ukraine have been ongoing this past week in response to the conflict.
