Demonstrators in Israel set their Russian passports on fire in a protest against the invasion of Ukraine.

Crowds gathered outside Russia’s embassy in Tel Aviv yesterday to voice their fury and horror over the war.

Chanting: “Putin is a murderer”, they held up banners proclaiming: “No to Russian fascism.” “Putin = Hitler,” a sign said, while another proclaimed “Shame Russia”.

One placard warned: “Putin will not stop on Ukraine and will move further! We have to protect the world from the aggressor.”
