Individuals have come together to show their solidarity with the people of Ukraine, after Russia invaded the country earlier this week.

Landmarks were lit up in the colours of the Ukrainian flag and vigils were held around the world.

These shows of solidarity follow political condemnation of Russia's actions to invade Ukraine, which led to significant sanctions being placed on the country.
