The march in Santa Monica comes the day after similar demonstrations in West LA, Hollywood and Studio City, and two days after another rally for peace in Ukraine in Santa Monica.
Similar protests were held along Hollywood Boulevard and at Laurel Canyon and Ventura boulevards in Studio City.
Many of those protesting Saturday told reporters that Ukraine was their homeland and expressed concern for friends and relatives still living there. Slava Rudavska has only known an independent Ukraine in her lifetime, she told NBC4 on Saturday during the rally in West Los Angeles. She was three years old when the country declared it was no longer part of the Soviet Union, and she immigrated to the United States three years ago."They are not going to give up," Rudavska said of her family in Ukraine."She said, we are going to save our country, or we're going to die here.
Meanwhile, Archbishop José Gomez of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles condemned the invasion Sunday in a letter shared with the Catholic Ukrainian faithful.
