PEACE activists marched through London on Saturday to demand immediate peace talks a year into the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Stop the War and Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament national demonstration mobilised about 4,000 demonstrators who marched from the BBC headquarters at Portland Place to a rally in Trafalgar Square declaring: No to the Russian invasion, no to Nato and no to nuclear war.

The march was one of scores worldwide — including a rally of 50,000 at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate demanding an end to the flood of arms to Ukraine.
