Why Daniel Mitchell stand with Ukraine?

Russia launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Shortly after beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the leader of a Melbourne Russian protest group, Peter Kuzmin, called to hold nightly protest vigils on the Melbourne’s Princess Bridge. Incredibly for almost 90 days, practically every night, there were some people on the bridge with the banners, declaring their support for Ukraine. An Australian, Daniel Mitchell, found himself regularly taking part in this bridge vigil, a little to his own surprise. Listen for more from the renowned journalist Sima Tsyskin on SBS Ukrainian.
