Rally for Ukraine in San Francisco
Dozens gathered near the San Francisco ferry building Sunday expressing support for Ukraine.
SAN FRANCISCO - Dozens of protesters gathered near the San Francisco ferry building Sunday afternoon expressing support for Ukraine following the disastrous Oval Office meeting last week with President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Protesters waved flags and held up signs accusing the U.S. government of extorting Ukraine, calling for sending the country more foreign aid.
"We may be losing our democracy, our representative government for no reason except the personal pathologies of a cruel, abusive man," said one demonstrator.
