Over 300 people have joined the solidarity action in Lisbon to support Mariupol. The Russian army continues shelling Mariupol’s city center and Kharkiv’s residential areas, where many people are constantly dying. International rescuers from Australia, the USA, and Germany came to Ukraine to help the firefighters from Kyiv Oblast to remove the rubble and find civilians’ bodies.
