Feminist group, Femen, held a topless protest in Paris on Monday 7, against Russian invasion of Ukraine. 50 activists gathered on the Champs-de-Mars in front of Eiffel Tower where a video of all women protesters was recorded while wearing no upper garment.
The group, which painted colours of Ukranian flag on their bodies, demanded that Ukraine should be integrated into the European Union.
"Ukrainian's only crime today is to fight for their freedom, for their desire to be free and sovereign in their country. We must react firmly to the absolute violence inflicted by a dictator with imperialist ambitions whose trademarks are confrontation and repression. Today, by declaring war on Ukraine, Putin is above all declaring war on democracy." Read the group's statement in part.
Femen, also known as Naked Shock Troops of Feminism, was founded in Ukraine in 2008 and is based in France now. It is best known for its bare-breasted protests in its home country.
