Empty Strollers Placed in Lviv to Symbolize Children Killed in Russian Invasion of Ukraine
More than one hundred strollers were placed in rows in a public square in Lviv in Ukraine’s west on March 18 to symbolize the deaths of children killed in Russian attacks. There were 109 strollers placed as part of the demonstration, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported. The silent protest also called for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Ukraine. This video from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty shows the strollers and features an interview with one of the organizers. “During the war, especially on its 23rd day, we stop distinguishing among 30, 40, 50, or 100 [victims]. That’s why today we brought here 109 strollers so that we could see what this number looks like — how many children could have been playing, enjoying their time with their parents on this square today. Unfortunately, they have been killed and now they shield the Ukrainian sky while the world’s politicians argue about what sanctions to choose [against Russia],” organizer Svitlana Blinova says in this video.
